Standard Solar announced it is working with Wattch, a next-generation provider of cloud-based energy monitoring, intelligence and controls solutions. Strengthening observability and dispatchability is a move that will enable Standard Solar to operate more efficiently, adapt to evolving market conditions and meet the increasing operational demands of a dynamic energy market. Under the agreement, Standard Solar will migrate approximately 370 MW of its existing portfolio to the Wattch platform and leverage Wattch’s hardware, software and services to support additional solar and storage developments planned over the next few years.
“We partnered with Wattch due to their commitment to data quality, control and integrated SCADA — capabilities essential for modern, resilient energy operations,” said Rick Berube, COO of Standard Solar. “Their platform equips our team with the visibility and functionality to optimize performance and make faster, more informed decisions.”
The partnership was driven by Wattch’s industry-leading features, including the Wattch Digital Twin that enables deeper insights into sources of energy loss, cloud-based diagnostic tools that facilitate remote issue identification and resolution and rapidly developing capabilities in automated battery monitoring and controls.
Additional factors in Standard Solar’s decision included Wattch’s comprehensive API that seamlessly connects with the tools and databases in the company’s current tech stack and the platform’s ease of installation and ability to support low-cost monitoring retrofits on existing sites.
“We couldn’t be more excited to expand our relationship with Standard Solar,” said Alex Nussey, co-founder and CEO at Wattch. “Their extensive experience in renewable energy asset management, combined with our engineering team’s commitment to innovation, will drive the continuous improvement of our platform. This partnership ensures we’re building solutions that address the real operational challenges our customers face every day.”
