A Bright New Use Case: Emma Powers Solar Park Monitoring

At Surfact, we’re always discovering new ways Emma can make an impact. While originally designed for cold chain logistics, Emma’s versatility and real-time tracking capabilities have opened doors to a new and exciting application: monitoring solar park installations.


Why Solar Parks Need Smart Monitoring

Solar parks are high-value installations that depend on precision and stability to maximize energy production. But managing these sprawling sites comes with challenges:

  • Movement or shifts in solar panels can reduce efficiency and even damage equipment.
  • Environmental factors like light levels and temperature affect power generation.
  • Location accuracy is crucial for maintenance and ensuring equipment is where it should be.

Emma steps in to provide the real-time data needed to overcome these challenges.


How Emma Supports Solar Park Operations
