PV Insights review
A focused cloud platform for solar yield, inverter performance and loss analysis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PV Insights is a cloud-based analytics platform for operations and maintenance of solar photovoltaic plants. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise solar operators who need to monitor assets such as inverters, combiner boxes and power meters. Its core work is generation analytics: tracking performance trends, surfacing anomalies and estimating energy yield and losses. The vendor describes support for preventive, corrective and condition-based maintenance, making the product relevant to teams responsible for plant performance and maintenance planning.
The analytics cover both current performance and expected output. Operators can rank inverters by DC power and daily yield, then profile inverter time series against each unit’s own performance to identify deviations. PV Insights detects and reports anomalies in time-series trends, analyzes DC-to-AC power loss, clipping and outliers, and estimates annual energy production and expected future losses. Forecasting includes daily yield, total yield and power; weather insights model impacts using weather data. Together, these capabilities make the product a specialized option for finding performance issues and understanding their effect on plant yield, rather than a broad energy analytics suite.
PV Insights aggregates data from SCADA, dataloggers, databases and third-party providers, and is available through web and API on cloud deployment. The category scope is centered on generation and predictive asset analytics, not grid, consumption or market analytics, so organizations seeking those capabilities should look elsewhere. Pricing is contact-sales, and the listed support channel is email. Solar operators evaluating a focused tool for performance monitoring, forecasting and loss analysis should consider it; buyers needing a different analytics domain or deployment model should compare alternatives.
PV Insights pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Ranks inverters by DC power and daily yield, with time-series profiling.
- Forecasts yield and power while modeling weather impacts.
- Aggregates plant data from SCADA, dataloggers, databases and third parties.
- Where it doesn't
- Pricing is handled through contact sales.
- Deployment is cloud-only.
- Analytics focus on solar generation, not grid, consumption or market analytics.
