Folsom, Calif., Sept. 11, 2017 - Trimark, a leading provider of measurement, SCADA and communications solutions for the electric power industry, today announces it is the world's top ranked monitoring software vendor for utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants based on total monitored PV capacity as of June 2017, according to GTM Research & SOLICHAMBA in their upcoming Global PV Monitoring 2017 report.

Trimarks software is used to monitor 6.493 Gigawatts (GW) of PV power generation at 170 utility-scale PV power plants. Trimarks monitoring solutions include secure data telemetry to support utility and Independent System Operator (ISO) energy management. In addition, Trimarks PV monitoring is integrated into its advanced, T1-S SCADATM (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) platform for management, forecasting, asset planning and operational control.

The ranking was determined by a research project soon to be published by GTM Research & SOLICHAMBA. This report is the solar industrys only comprehensive analysis of global PV monitoring markets, technologies and vendors.

"Throughout our 17 years, Trimark has installed our solutions in the largest solar sites in the world," said Mark Morosky, Trimarks President and CEO. "As a single-source partner, EPCs and resource owners trust Trimark to deliver turnkey solutions and support them from concept to commissioning."

"Trimarks growth in PV monitoring closely mirrors the growth of PV in California," said Bob Wood, Trimarks Chief Technology Officer. "First, ISOs and utilities require secure data telemetry for monitoring and control to support grid stability. Second, the growth in utility-scale solar development has created a market for integrated business and operational systems that enable sophisticated control and management strategies."

"Naturally, utility-scale PV plants require utility-scale monitoring and control tools to meet their compliance, operations and business requirements," said Wood. "Trimark has continued to improve our monitoring and control systems to satisfy both the business interests of the owner and the grid stability requirements of the ISO and utility."

"Trimark built its T1-S SCADA to look and feel like a business tool while executing advanced closed-loop logic required to stabilize electric power characteristics at the point of interconnection," said Wood. "You dont need to be an engineer to use Trimarks system."

Trimark innovates with continuous product enhancements to serve evolving business and operational needs. These include applying SCADA systems to support plant commissioning, manage resource portfolios, forecast power production, manage assets and comply with NERC CIP requirements.
