Consolidating a Portfolio onto PowerTrack Cloud Through Software-Only Migration
Bringing third-party SCADA sites onto one platform with no new hardware and no site visits
- CUSTOMER
- Sol Systems LLC, a clean energy asset developer, owner, and operator
- SCOPE
- More than 600 MW in migration over 3 years, with 1 GW total planned by end of 2026
- CHALLENGE
- PV sites monitored on third party SCADA and sitting outside of the PowerTrack Cloud platform, leaving no single view of portfolio performance
- NEW HARDWARE
- No equipment purchased, no installation, no truck rolls, and no impact to existing warranties
- TIME TO DATA
- Live in PowerTrack Cloud within 2 weeks of full data availability
- INCLUDED
- PowerTrack Cloud's Advanced Modeling configured by Stem; a dedicated Project Manager and Application Engineer assigned to each site
PowerTrack Cloud has made it easier for our team to bring data together across projects and systems, reducing the complexity of managing a growing portfolio and giving us more consistent visibility into project performance.
Challenge
One Portfolio, Too Many Platforms
Sol Systems' portfolio had grown to include PV sites running on third-party SCADA, sitting outside the PowerTrack Cloud platform the rest of the fleet was managed on. That split meant no single view of portfolio performance, reports stitched together by hand, and KPIs that didn't reconcile site to site. Sol Systems needed those sites brought onto PowerTrack Cloud without disturbing monitoring systems already installed and paid for, without capital spend on new field hardware, and without waiting months for a crew to be scheduled at each site.
Solution
One Platform, No New Hardware
Stem migrated the portfolio into PowerTrack Cloud Software using a software-only ingest, reading data directly from existing field devices — inverters, meters, weather stations, and trackers — rather than scraping the incumbent SCADA portal. No monitoring hardware was purchased or installed, existing warranties were untouched, and the legacy system ran in parallel until cutover, so Sol Systems never had a monitoring gap caused by the transition. With no hardware in the critical path, each migration was completed within two weeks of full data availability.
Results
- Over 600 MW of PV consolidated into PowerTrack Cloud over three years
- No new monitoring hardware, installation labor, or site mobilization cost.
- No impact to existing equipment, monitoring systems, or warranties.
- Every migration live on PowerTrack Cloud within two weeks of full data availability.
- Advanced Modeling configured and delivered turnkey.
- One platform, one interface, and one consistent set of KPIs across the managed fleet, regardless of which SCADA system was originally deployed at each site.
