HailSens360

high-resolution hailstorm forecast & sensing to minimize impacts to your operations and assets

Monitoring hail risk & mitigating damage

HailSens360 delivers extensive hailstorm forecasts and nowcast data to mitigate hail damage. In addition, real-time measurements of hailstones – their size, velocity and distribution – and in-depth post-event analytical tools help you assess damages and file claims.

Our intuitive cloud & sensor solution gives you unparalleled decision support for optimal hail data before, during and after the storm.

You not only know what’s coming but also when, where, and the expected impact with Hailsens360.

Your benefits

1

Get alerts 18 hours before the storm

Prepare to act based on precise weather data from multiple sources & HRRR forecasts of conditions favorable for the development of a potentially severe hail event.

2

Act on nowcasts 60-90 min ahead of potential impact

Get actionable insights every 6 mins for stowing, locking & other asset-protection strategies based on VIL density, nowcast algorithms & strong hail size/VIL density correlation.

3

Record real-time hail measurements

Precisely measure each hailstone: their size, velocity & distribution upon impact. These details are key to better understanding future hailstorms and expedite claims processing.

4

Analyze data after the storms to increase resiliency

View comprehensive data of the hail event, damage (including microcracks) and downtime to quickly restore operations & optimal energy output.

5

Maximum uptime & availability of this decision-support

Our ISO-certified IT services provide you with quality data and maximize the uptime of your decision-support.

  • Lessons learned data for future decisions

    Lessons learned data for future decisions

    View and analyze past hail events using the same tools available in forecast and real-time modes.

    For post event analysis, review past alarming events from forecasts, nowcasts and observations.

    A rich set of statistics including raster animation & extracted information, as well as hailstone distribution analyses with distribution of hailstone size, velocity and distribution over a geographic area.

We wanted to create a solution that enables solar developers to protect assets from hail damage ahead of a hail event ... to do that, we built a system that allows us to better predict, precisely quantify and validate hail, then aggregate all that information into an online dashboard
