SCADA for Utility-Scale PV | Terabase Energy

About Our Operational Technology Team

We're a team of former First Solar and SunPower associates with extensive utility-scale PV plant expertise. Our grid-friendly plant controls and SCADA solutions have been installed at more than 80 solar power plants totaling over 10 GWs. Our solutions have demonstrated very high reliability over 500,000+ hours of operational experience.

Our team has been widely recognized for developing innovative features that facilitate grid integration of renewable energy power plants. Plant owners and grid operators derive increased value from power plants with features such as flexible solar and reliability services capability. Our solutions also incorporate storage and other resources to provide plant capabilities that meet stringent grid operator dispatch requirements. We leverage design practices and know-how under IP license from First Solar.
