Managing a solar farm involves more than monitoring generation and asset performance.


Operations teams also need to manage people, site access, maintenance, alarms, safety, compliance and day-to-day communication across their portfolio.


As the number of sites grows, keeping all that information organised can become difficult, particularly when teams are relying on spreadsheets, emails and disconnected systems.


Renewable energy software can help bring these processes together.


What should solar farm software help you manage?

The right software should support the everyday processes involved in operating a solar farm, while making important information easier for teams to find and act on.


Manage your workforce and sites

Solar farms often have teams, contractors and visitors moving between multiple sites.


Software can help manage personnel information, site access and egress, contacts, notifications and other workforce processes in one place.


This gives operations teams a clearer picture of who is on site and what is happening across their portfolio.


Manage alarms and operational activity

Solar farms generate operational data and alarms that can require investigation or action.


Bringing alarm information into the same operational environment as workforce and work management can give teams a clearer view of what is happening across their sites.


It also helps connect operational events with the people and work involved in responding to them.


Manage work

Maintenance, inspections and corrective actions all need to be planned, assigned and tracked.


Work management software can help teams create and manage work orders, giving everyone greater visibility of what needs to happen and what has been completed.


Field teams can also access and update work directly from their mobile devices, helping information move between the site and the wider operations team.


Support safety and compliance

Safety and compliance are part of everyday solar farm operations.


Software can help teams manage documents, inductions, training, safety events and other operational records, while keeping the relevant information accessible to the people who need it.


Keep teams connected

When teams are spread across multiple sites, communication needs to reach people where they are.


Site broadcasts and notifications can help share important operational information with people working on site, while mobile tools allow field teams to capture information as work happens.


One platform for solar farm operations

KUDO brings together the information and processes involved in managing solar farm operations, including:


Instead of relying on separate systems and spreadsheets for different parts of your operation, KUDO brings key workforce and operational processes together in one platform.


Renewable energy software built around the way you work.
