skytron energy has re-engineered skyCOMM, a digital signal converter in Oriana. It integrates external devices such as inverters, irradiation, and temperature sensors into the plant network, gathering data in high-resolution in 1s values via a single data concentrator and communicating in both directions. This is an essential feature to quick reactions to errors or failures.

skytron energy's head of sales Stephan Raulin said: “With its ambitious plans to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, the Caribbean has taken the right path to encourage the development of solar power generation.

“We are proud to support this direction and to partner with Sonnedix on completing the largest solar power plant in the region. Due to the size and the hybrid nature of the plant, we have deployed the entire range of our high-quality monitoring and supervision technology.”
