Connecting Remote Solar Sites

Near-Perfect Uptime
The Challenge
A growing solar portfolio operator was struggling to maintain reliable connectivity to remote sites across the Welsh Marches. Poor mobile signal meant their monitoring platform often showed sites as offline when they were generating normally. Engineers were making unnecessary site visits, and genuine inverter faults went unnoticed for days.
The Fresh Tech Solution
We deployed Starlink at two particularly remote sites and bonded 4G connections at the others using Peplink routers for automatic failover. We implemented edge computing at each site to buffer data during connectivity gaps and set up a centralised monitoring dashboard with prioritised alerting. Critical alarms now reach the operations team within seconds.
Mission Tech Stack
The Outcome
99.9% uptime visibility across 5 sites.
We used to lose half a day's generation data when the 4G dropped. Now we have complete visibility, and the Starlink sites are rock solid even in awful weather. The ROI was immediate.
