Managing Solar Portfolios By Performing Device-level Analytics: Using Ai And Data Science

This article discusses the use of Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to manage the component-level performance of Photovoltaic (PV) plants in response to the pertinent problems in present-day PV Operation and Maintenance (O&M). It highlights the approaches applied to investigate and identify the underperformance issues at various levels in the project, and how these solutions can help reduce potential risks, reduce the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE), and positively impact the investors’ return (ROI).
