KISTERS pairs extensive hailstorm forecasts and nowcast data with next generation hail sensors to mitigate hail damage as well as monitor hail impacts & size in real-time. Know when hail is coming, where and the expected impact to maximize asset protection.

The HailSens360 early warning hail monitoring system with alarm settings delivers localized hail insights to solar O&M teams via web browser. Equip your decision-makers with forecast data (18 hours ahead), nowcast data (60-90 minutes ahead with updates every 6 minutes) and post-event analysis.

The HailSens sensor detects hail impacts using kinetic impact measurement. Characteristics of each detected hailstone (kinetic energy, diameter and timestamp of the impact) are recorded and forwarded in real-time. Web-based software enables users to immediate assess potential hail damage as the event occurs, especially as defined alerts notify maintenance team members.

Unmatched details on the full scope of every hail event improve operational resilience and achieve hardening for future high stakes, severe hail scenarios when knowledge is power and timing is an utmost advantage.

Service Availability: HailSens360 forecast and nowcast services are available across most of North America and many European countries, including Great Britain, the Benelux countries, France, the DACH region, the Iberian Peninsula, the Scandinavian countries and Poland.
