SolarAnywhere® FleetView®
Distributed PV generation data
SolarAnywhere® FleetView® supports more accurate load estimation for distribution grid analysis, planning and operations
Electric utilities face the challenge of maintaining grid safety and reliability amidst accelerated adoption of behind-the-meter (BTM) solar PV systems. Utilities require a comprehensive view of distributed PV generation in order to generate accurate estimates of load across the distribution grid.
SolarAnywhere FleetView, a web-based solar data service, combines PV system specifications and best-in-class SolarAnywhere® irradiance data to create time-series simulations of historical, real-time and forecasted energy production from PV systems. FleetView provides a reliable and affordable alternative to production metering infrastructure without compromising accuracy.
FleetView PV production estimates capture the spatial and temporal variability of PV production across your service territory, allowing you to assess generation at the premise-level, or aggregate to the circuit or substation.

Case Study
Exelon Companies Choose FleetView
FleetView calculates behind-the-meter PV generation to inform gross load calculations and distribution planning.
Three Exelon companies (Atlantic City Electric, Delmarva Power and Pepco), experienced accelerated growth of residential solar installations in their service territories. In order to provide safe and reliable service while supporting solar adoption, the company needed the ability to accurately and cost-effectively estimate customer gross load that is obscured by behind-the-meter PV systems
“FleetView provides us with accurate and site-specific solar production simulations of historical and real-time production for every PV system in our territory. This helps us unmask gross load, plan for the future and bolster continued reliability of the distribution system.”
