The Solar Energy Systems (SES) Cluster focuses on making solar power a cost-effective and trusted source of electricity. The SES activities have a wide variety and span from remote monitoring to novel PV system deployments such as Agrivoltaics (= combining agriculture + PV) and forecasting of irradiance for better grid integration management. The cluster also addresses the specific challenges when deploying solar technologies in urban environments like Singapore and other megacities. SES is driving the SERIS flagship project on Floating Solar and focuses on important aspects to increase solar adoption, such as solar potential analysis, quality assurance, technical standards, long-term reliability, smart operation and maintenance (O&M) of PV assets, and the economics of PV installations.
