AI for solar plants — every string, inverter and inspection flight under your control
Yield data reveals your revenue model; grid documents carry your compliance burden. This use case shows a utility-scale PV operation running the VectorMATRIX stack: edge inference at the inverter stations, open-weight models for forecasting and documents, the Sanitizer on every outbound call, and ~5% policy-gated cloud reasoning.
A solar plant is a data plant
Thousands of strings report every minute. Drones return gigabytes of thermal imagery. And every warranty claim, grid audit and O&M report runs on documents.
String & inverter telemetry
Per-string current, inverter status, tracker positions — the basis for dispatch, cleaning and warranty decisions.
Soiling & hotspot vision
Thermal and RGB inspection flights, evaluated on-site: hotspots, PID, soiling maps, glass breakage — prioritized by yield impact.
Yield & availability forecasting
Weather-coupled forecasting and underperformance detection, computed locally — not in a vendor's cloud dashboard.
Grid compliance & O&M docs
Grid-operator reporting, warranty evidence, O&M contracts — document intelligence with an audit trail.
One perimeter, every path governed — mapped to solar
- 01
Data Sources
String/inverter telemetry · drone thermal & RGB · weather station · SCADA · contracts & grid PDFs
- 02
Edge Inference
Hotspot and soiling detection, tracker anomaly flags — at the plant, offline-capable
- 03
Open-Weight Models
Per use case: NVIDIA · Qwen · … — yield forecasting, report drafting, document extraction
- 04
VectorMATRIX Sanitizer
PII redaction + policy per data class before anything leaves
- 05
Secure Cloud API
Stateless, no retention — only ~5% of requests (novel fault patterns, complex contract reasoning)
- 06
Cloud / VPS
EU VPS (Hetzner, OVHcloud, IONOS) · AWS · Azure — EU residency by default
- 07
Dashboard & Actions
Cleaning and dispatch priorities, tickets, reports
