We are proud to officially welcome the Fracsun team to Nextpower.
Founded in 2011 in San Luis Obispo, Calif., Fracsun brings deep expertise in solar performance technology, strengthening our growing portfolio of AI-driven and robotic solutions, and marking an important step in expanding our capabilities across utility-scale solar assets.
Fracsun’s core product (ARES) is now part of the Nextpower platform as NX Clario™, our newly branded soiling monitoring solution. With built-in software monitoring for entire fleets, NX Clario is designed to help operators better understand and manage one of the most persistent sources of energy loss in solar plants: panel soiling.
Using advanced sensor technology and AI-driven analytics, NX Clario continuously measures real-time soiling losses and transforms that data into actionable insights. The system compares clean and soiled reference cells to quantify performance impact, then recommends optimized cleaning schedules based on site conditions, weather, and cost factors. Deployed across gigawatts of solar projects worldwide, NX Clario enables:
Real-time visibility into soiling losses and site performance
Data-driven cleaning strategies that reduce unnecessary O&M spend
Site-specific analytics for better operational decision making
Simple, low-maintenance deployment with autonomous operation
By helping operators clean at the optimal time—not just more often—NX Clario maximizes energy production while improving overall ROI.
As part of our broader platform, NX Clario joins our expanding suite of AI and robotic solutions to connect field data with actionable insights. Together, these technologies enable faster response times, reduced risk, and more productive operations across solar sites.
