Latimer Flexible Solar Management System

Maximize the potential of your solar asset with Latimer Controls FSMS technology

Introducing Latimer FSMS - Flexible Solar Management System - a revolutionary  ML-powered software control solution that transforms solar generation from a liability on the grid to a valuable asset. Latimer FSMS continuously reads real-time information from every inverter, processing it with a robust machine learning model to compute the Potential High Limit at both the inverter and plant level, even during curtailment. It incorporates a groundbreaking hierarchical control scheme to direct power setpoints for each inverter, managing power generation to meet grid signals with unparalleled precision. Latimer FSMS is a vendor-agnostic, locally hosted backend software solution that seamlessly integrates with pre-existing embedded systems, unleashing a host of innovative capabilities for both current and future investments.

Flexible Interconnection

Latimer FSMS enables transmission- and distribution-tied assets to achieve flexible interconnection to the grid. Highly accurate PHL estimations ensure optimal use of available line capacity, while precision curtailment capabilities prevent both dangerous over-generation and wasteful over-curtailment.
