Conventional solar monitoring at the inverter level is reactive and labour-intensive, with issues like shading, soiling, mismatch, or degradation often detected only after energy losses occur. Troubleshooting requires manual checks, slowing response times and driving up costs, which limits the efficiency of solar asset management for large-scale operations.

This technology provides a digital O&M control panel that delivers real-time, module-level visibility and control for advanced solar asset management. Coupling module-level power electronics with advanced software, it captures second-by-second data on voltage, current, temperature, and faults from each module. The platform integrates with existing inverter and SCADA systems, is inverter-agnostic, and can be retrofitted selectively where risks or losses are the highest.

By detecting anomalies early, quantifying avoided losses, and prioritising interventions by ROI, the technology turns monitoring into proactive operations. Operators can execute remote module-level actions, such as isolating or restoring modules - before sending crews, reducing downtime and cost. Built-in safety features also meet rapid shutdown requirements and generate auditable compliance records to strengthen long-term energy performance.

By closing the loop from sensing to analytics to remote action, this technology maximizes energy yield, accelerates response, and lowers the total cost of solar plant operations. In real-world deployments, the system has achieved up to a 50% reduction in management and O&M costs, and a 4–15% increase in overall power generation efficiency, while significantly strengthening fire-safety assurance through rapid isolation of faulty panels or hotspots for improved energy reliability.

The technology owner is seeking collaborations with asset owners, O&M service providers, and EPCs/developers for test-bedding and licensing.
