Overview

Solar Network empowers organizations to optimize energy usage and enhance sustainability with real-time data analysis and scalable energy management solutions.

SolarNetwork

Company and use case

Solar Network specializes in providing a comprehensive platform for energy data management and analysis, primarily focusing on renewable energy sources. Their platform enables users to collect, store, and analyze large volumes of energy data from various sources, facilitating better energy management and conservation practices. By utilizing Solar Network’s tools, organizations can optimize their energy usage, improve efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Performance problems to solve

Solar Network faced significant challenges in managing and processing the vast amounts of time-series data generated by energy sensors. Their existing infrastructure struggled with slow data ingestion and query performance, leading to delays in data analysis and reporting. This inefficiency hindered their ability to provide real-time insights and actionable intelligence to their users, impacting the overall effectiveness of their platform.

Performance gains unlocked

By adopting TimescaleDB, Solar Network significantly enhanced their data processing capabilities. TimescaleDB's hypertables and continuous aggregates improved data ingestion rates and query performance, allowing for real-time data analysis and reporting. This transition enabled Solar Network to handle larger datasets efficiently, reduce storage costs, and deliver timely insights to their users. As a result, their platform became more robust and scalable, supporting the growing demand for renewable energy management solutions.

We already used Postgres and Timescale was appealing to us because it provided a better way to manage the table partitioning and adapt it as our usage grew. We also evaluated Cassandra, Druid, and CockroachDB—but none seemed like a perfect fit.
