SW-X series sky imager 

Catch and anticipate the sky conditions

ABOUT

Connect your solar farms to the sky conditions

SW-X series sky imager monitors fast changing sky and weather conditions, delivering crucial observations data. Part of the SteadyEye product. It constitutes state-of-the-art solution for intrahour solar forecasting needs.

SteadyEye service runs as Software as a Service (SaaS) or on-premise. If the internet network is not complying, a 4G router option is also available for edge to cloud operations.

Depending on solar installations size and geographical distribution, multiple sky imagers can be connected together through a local network in order to increase field of view and to improve forecast accuracy.

A dedicated web application provides SW-X data monitoring, visualization and analytics.
