Greenbyte Ideas

Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

    We have great new features lined up for this year that we can’t wait to share with you. Unfortunately this request is not part of the roadmap.

  2. Aggregate data by month / Week / day / year

    The aggregate per site or portfolio is great, but it will be also interesting to have the chance to aggregate the data by time intervals: by month, or week or year.

    Use case: I need to create a monthly database for certain Winfdarms-> export, aggregate by site and by month ---> i get a file for every site for every month.

  3. Alerts: exclude from evaluation period such time periods when the wind speed is lower than a certain value

    Add an option in the alert settings to define the alert's evaluation period so that it excludes from calculation such time periods when a certain parameter is lower/higher than a certain limit value (for example exclude such time periods when the wind is lower than a certain value).

  4. automatically acknowledge certain statuscodes

    Certain statuscodes (shadow casting, wind sector stop, ...) are standard stop and don't need a follow up from our controllers and it would be usefull to automaticaly acknowledge them.

  5. Allow for widgets to "connect" across columns in dashboards with two or three columns.

    Widgets in separate columns may be meant to be viewed side by side. It would be convenient to force 2 widgets in separate columns to always populate with the top of the widget starting in line with a corresponding widget in an adjacent column. Attached are two screenshots in an attempt the illiustrate the issue. In one screenshot (Even Widgets.jpg) all widgets are minimized and you can see each widget has a corresponding widget in the adjacent collumn. These are in-line when the widgets are all minimized but once they are expanded, the widgets are no longer aligned via the…

  7. Create work parties and assign them to turbine as a team.

    Current setup requires assigning everybody on the work party one-by-one. It could be done much more faster by only assigning the work party to the turbine. This will also reduce the number of wrong records; such as booking only one person to the turbine.

  8. Wind direction indicator to point into the wind

    I know that this is rather pedantic, but it is still throwing me off every time I look at the wind direction arrows. Maybe things are different here, but in the aviation world (and I thought in meteorology more generally), wind direction indicators point INTO the wind.

    Yours point with the wind. Can we please turn these around?

  10. Data Studio: Set the Rotation of the Timestamp in the graph

    When you have a graph with a lot of timestamps it is hard to see which date it is. So it would be nice to rotate the timestamps (45° or 90°) to get a better overview.

  12. Tasks: Automatically add all statuses to the open task - if an open site access is connected to the task

    Needed to ensure that statuses remain acknowledged even if technicians make test runs or the WT sends random statuses during maintenance. Also needed for cases where the logon is before the stop (most scheduled maintenance)

  13. Status categorization: separate "duration" column from start time column and use a fixed lengh format for duration (also in status log)

    Istead of formats such as '1d 2h' - '1m 50s' - '1h 45m' it would be better to have hh:mm:ss to better visually distinguish long from shorts stops.

  16. Task with Active status Vs Non-active/No Status

    It would be useful to see a visual difference between tasks that have an active status associated with them versus tasks that don't have an active status. This could be done similarly to how stops and warnings are red or yellow. A task that is associated with a status that is currently active should have one color and a task with no active statuses could be a different color. This would help our operators identify tasks that may need to be resolved due to the condition being corrected or no longer present.

  17. Lost Production to Other/Wind Speed

    Deviation from budget is explained by Wind Speed - Performance - Downtime - Data Availability and Unexplained. Breeze currently calculates Performance and Downtime - it would be very helpful for it to be able to show the remaining deviation (which can be labelled as Lost Production to Wind Speed and/or Lost Production to Other). Deviation due to Wind Speed can be calculated in a number of ways - some of which are very simple e.g. difference between budget and theoretical. On a monthly and yearly level as a minimum.

    Instead of this solution, we are building the capability to break down losses into various categories like shading, soiling, electrical losses, tracker issues, combiner box issues, turbine component failures, etc.

    We believe that this information is more relevant and actionable, so we have moved away from focusing on breaking down losses in relation to forecasted figures.

    However, we are in the process of building a feature which provides the deviation from the forecasted figures; for example deviation between actual and forecasted irradiation.

  18. Scale on Graphs

    Can there be an option to fit all graphs to the same scale on the Y-axis?

    In Data Studio - when you split the graph per aggregate (so each graph is showing the same feeds) the scales are often different - making it difficult to compare. Could you install a toggle (in Settings perhaps) that forces the Y-axis scale to be the same for all graphs?

  19. Running Text Log "Widget" on Dashboard

    We would like the ability to add a running text box on to a dashboard to act as a "notes" or "log" feature. Basically - you can enter in comments - and they input with a time and date stamp - but remain visible - just pushed below the next comment. There is the site notes widget and a log widget - but for the sake of efficiency and ease of use this text should be visible upon loading a dashboard without the need to enter additional pages. As we are usually doing these with clients on the phone or…
