Pacific Green Energy
Since its establishment in 2018, Pacific Green Energy (PGE) has deployed over 53 MW of solar plants in just six years, with plans to exceed 100 MW in the near future. With nearly 200 plants spread across Taiwan and only a five-member O&M team, how does PGE maintain such high efficiency in daily operations? We visited their office in Taipei’s East District, where O&M Manager 一朗 and O&M Specialist Julie shared how PHOTON has transformed their workflow.

Complete Data for Spotting Hidden Issues
“By comparing daily PR and historical generation data, our team can evaluate equipment performance and prevent major losses. Sometimes we even analyze year-over-year generation patterns at the same site, which makes traceability crucial,” 一朗 explained.
Using PHOTON’s daily reports, Ichiro identifies abnormal generation, cross-checks inverter status, and dives into detailed MPPT curves to locate the exact cause of inefficiency.

AI Analytics for Optimal Performance
Beyond expert knowledge, PHOTON’s AI-powered analytics provide invaluable support. The system precisely notifies the team when module cleaning is needed, maximizing energy yield. With AI-driven anomaly detection and customizable thresholds, false alarms are minimized while abnormal devices are flagged accurately. This data not only helps optimize O&M strategies but also lowers unexpected failures and long-term costs—providing critical value to both operators and investors.
Automated Reporting: No More Manual Work
For Julie, PHOTON’s automated reporting has been a game changer. Previously, she spent days each month compiling hundreds of reports for internal teams, investors, and government agencies. Today, with just a few clicks, she can generate or even directly send customized reports to clients’ inboxes—eliminating repetitive manual work and boosting overall productivity.
