Tracer I-V for 100 kW photovoltaic plants Conceived and built at the time to validate its own installations, it has proved to be a useful and reliable tool in the long term. It is capable of obtaining the complete characteristic curve of a photovoltaic installation up to 900V-Voc and 200A-Isc. The device is contained in a watertight case and is battery operated. It has a display for quick viewing and records for further processing on a PC. Links of interest: Service – Testing and validation Service – Facilities maintenance
The optimal operation of a photovoltaic installation depends on proper design during the project phase, correct installation during the implementation phase and precise management of operation and maintenance during the exploitation phase. During this last phase, which has a minimum duration of 25 years, the owner of a photovoltaic installation, In many cases, it is not known whether its installation is producing the amount of energy for which it was designed and whether or not there are circumstances that would undermine the potential energy it could generate. Therefore, since ITER, we have the service of “technical audits of photovoltaic installations”,…
ADVANT – Advanced Therapeutics ADVANT is a platform for physical rehabilitation and cognitive training by performing exercises that involve movement on the part of the user using Microsoft’s Kinect device ©.

The Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, in line with the promotion of action strategies in the field of Open Government, proposed to provide information on its activity and management in a complete, accessible, updated and truthful manner. To this end, it was decided that the channel of communication with the public would be a television channel of the Cabildo Insular with a presence on the Internet, Tenerife TV Channel. The centralised storage of data and information, its cataloguing for better access, and making it available to citizens on an on-line television platform, is a step towards this new form of transparent…
