The plant

The photovoltaic power plant in Peveragno (Cuneo) is the company’s production unit: in service since 28 June 2012, it feeds solar electricity into the grid.

Operating unit CN/1

A power plant in the province of Cuneo

The plant stands in via Boves 269, Peveragno, at the foot of the Maritime Alps — an area that combines good summer irradiation with moderate average temperatures, a favourable combination for module performance, since efficiency falls as cell temperature rises.

The electricity generated is fed into the distribution grid. The company operates the plant directly: output monitoring, planned maintenance and management of relations with the distribution operator and the national energy services agency.

Operation

How the plant is run

Monitoring

Actual output is compared with expected output so that performance drops, strings out of service or inverter faults are caught early.

Remote supervision rests on IoT technologies we introduced on the plant to cut down on site visits and reduce operating costs.

The same technologies, for third parties →

Maintenance

Planned work on electrical components and structures, with periodic checks of protective devices and connections.

Compliance

Obligations towards the distribution operator, the energy services agency and public authorities, with technical documentation kept up to date.
