Abstract: An environmental enclosure is disclosed. The environmental enclosure may include sidewalls defining an enclosure volume, each of the sidewalls having an internally facing surface and an externally facing surface, and a solar shield comprising a reflective surface. The solar shield is spaced a first distance externally from the enclosure volume and is connected to a sidewall. The first distance defines a portion of a flow area that is configured to produce stack effect draft. Further specialized civil works are also disclosed. Additional devices, systems, and methods are contemplated in the patent disclosure herein, including panel soiling detection and mitigation, cathodic protection, thermal management features, each including unique automation so that they may be used unattended in remote regions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments for a power tracking and control architecture. An embodiment operates by compiling a data telegram, wherein the data telegram comprises a plurality of blocks; sending, by a first communication path of the controller, the data telegram to a second tier of the tiered network, wherein at least one power asset of the second tier of the tiered network is configured to update a power profile according to at least one block of the data telegram; and receiving, by a second communication path of the tiered network, an update from the at least one power asset of the second tier of the tiered network.

Abstract: A system and method for a distributed smart power and storage transfer architecture. An embodiment includes a distributed energy storage system comprising a controller and a plurality of energy storages distributed across a plurality of sites, requesting asset data from across the plurality of sites and receiving asset data from one or more sites of the plurality of sites. Further embodiments may include storing the asset data received from each site or determining a power output pattern across the plurality of sites according to the stored asset data. Additionally, a data telegram may be constructed based on the determined power output pattern. The data telegram may be sent to any site of the plurality of sites and may be configured to adapt power supplied by the at least one of the plurality of sites.

Abstract: A system and method for a distributed smart power and storage transfer architecture. An embodiment includes a stored power transfer control system comprising a remote monitoring processor located remotely from a plurality of sites, wherein the plurality of sites are connected to a distribution line.
