Overview
The Core Real-Time Data is a Certified Product Point Template for Solar Farms defines the standardized, minimum set of telemetry (e.g. time series points) Bazefield recommends for real-time monitoring of all solar farms. These points ensure consistent data collection, improve interoperability across assets, and enable accurate reporting and analysis across your portfolio.
This point template provides a reliable baseline of data at the site level aggregated from both the PV Inverter and Meters modeled in Bazefield. The purpose is to:
Ensure consistent naming and normalization of critical telemetry available on all makes and models of inverters on different solar farms
Support cross-site and cross-technology data normalization
Template Definition
The Core Real-Time Data template contains solar farm level calculations summarizing Inverter and Meter SCADA values. Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below.
