Kisters today released an early-warning and hail monitoring system to the solar industry called HailSens360<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Through intelligent software and sensor technology, HailSens360 synthesizes forecast data (18 hours ahead), nowcast data (60-90 minutes ahead with updates every 6 minutes) along with post-event analysis detailing the full scope of a hail event. These crucial pre- and post-event insights provide invaluable decision support in high stakes\/severe hail scenarios where knowledge is power, timing is everything and data drives decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a solution that enables solar developers to protect their assets from hail damage ahead of a hail event, but to do that, we needed to build a system that allows us to better predict, precisely quantify and validate hail, then aggregate all of that information into one cloud solution for better visibility,\u201d said Johan Jaques, Kisters Chief Meteorologist and HailSens360 solution owner.<\/p>\n

Every year major hailstorms cause hundreds of millions of dollars\u2019 worth of damage, such as the 2019 hailstorm that hit a West Texas solar farm<\/a> and sent shockwaves through both the solar and insurance industries. This watershed event along with other severe hail events has led to a heightened interest and urgency in the development of new hail prediction, quantification and post-event analysis technologies. The technology behind HailSens360 enhances the level of detail and precision measured in real-time by the hail sensor, supports swift identification of severe hail damage, while providing detailed analysis of potential microcracks, which, if left unattended, can lead to a host of performance issues. This new technology shares information in sufficient time, alerting solar farm managers to stow solar assets in a safe position ahead of severe hail. The innovation also provides a more vivid picture of hail impacts in terms of hailstone size, velocity, and distribution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HailSens360 is a genuine breakthrough,\u201d said Klaus Kisters, CEO. \u201cPrecise hailstone measurement now combined with crucial forecast\/nowcast data and post-event analysis will put solar developers squarely in the driver\u2019s seat of their solar assets and have insurers breathing a little easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
