Live Data for Solar: vegetation, pollinators and wildlife.
Demonstration site
On a solar or agrivoltaic plant what counts is the meadow under and between the rows, the pollinators on the nectar strips, the birds and mammals that use the fenced area. Below you see how we measure them, with today's data from our demonstration site.

Birds.
Birdy sensors listen to the site and recognise species by their song. Each detection is a five-second clip you can play again. Pick a species to hear it and to see at what time it sings.

Spectrum · pollinators
Pollinators.
Every wingbeat has a frequency. Spectrum measures it and groups it into 19 notes: the more notes appear, the more groups of pollinators visit the site. No cameras, no trapping.

Technology
Our sensors.
Wireless and connected over 4G. They are mounted on a post or a tree and transmit on their own.
Inside the sensor
Wildy in 3D, from its design files
This model comes from the CAD files the sensor was engineered with. Turn it, get closer and open it to see where the microphone, the boards and the battery sit.

Parts
From the design
- The model follows today's design: shapes and components may still change.
- The enclosure is made of two halves, front shell and back cover, with a gasket between them.
- Inside are the main board, the modem board with its antennas, the microSD card and the battery; on top, the solar panel on a ball joint.
Model: Wildy v0.17 (STEP)
Wildy, our new sensor: Birdy for birds, Kiro for bats, Spectrum for pollinators, in a single box. Its design is in development.
Camera trap
Films the wildlife crossing the site and recognises the species.

The problem
Those who permit and those who finance a plant ask what happens to the nature of the site: before, during and after the works. A report written once is not enough: what is needed are measurements repeated at the same points.
The solution
The sensors measure birds, pollinators and mammals all year. The satellite maps follow land, vegetation and temperature. Our ecologists read the data and prepare the monitoring reports.
- 01
A live page
The same page you are looking at, with the data of your plant: to share with authorities, local communities and investors.
- 02
Numbers that hold
Every figure has its clip, its map and its method. It can be heard again and checked again.
- 03
Data before and after the works
The same measurements, repeated at the same points, are useful for monitoring before and after construction and for sustainability reporting.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How up to date are the live data for solar?
The sensors transmit several times a day. The page reads the latest detections when you open it and shows how long ago the last reading arrived. Numbers and charts are recalculated every night.
Which sensors does a solar plant need?
It depends on the site: usually one Spectrum for pollinators on meadows and nectar strips and one Birdy for birds; camera traps are added for large or fenced areas. We decide together after looking at the maps of the site.
Can the live sensor data be used in the monitoring of a solar plant before and after construction?
They are continuous measurements, with date, time and position, and every detection can be heard again. They can support monitoring before and after construction; what your case requires is set by the conditions of the plant's permit, and we look at it with our ecologists.
How do you read the rings of the year in the live data for solar?
The hours of the day run around the dial, with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom. Each ring is a month, from the centre to the rim. The brighter a cell, the more detections in that month at that hour. The two light lines are sunrise and sunset at the site.
Where do the data on this solar page come from?
From Oasi 2.0 di Gaminara, our demonstration site: an oasis followed by 3Bee with Birdy, Spectrum and camera traps in the field. It is not a solar plant: we show it because it has all three families of sensors. The same instruments and maps are installed on a plant.
