The Operational Challenge

Legacy Inefficiencies in Solar

Asset managers wash panels on rigid calendar schedules, losing 4–8% in uncaptured energy from accumulated soiling or wasting water on premature washes.

Without autonomous software intelligence, organizations face exponential operational labor drag, transcription error rates exceeding 8%, and compounding response delays that jeopardize enterprise SLAs.

Solution Architecture

How Fortiv Solves This Problem

SCADA String Telemetry Ingestion

Streams 1-minute inverter string current/voltage (I-V) measurements, pyranometer irradiance, and ambient temperatures.

Physics-Informed Soiling & Degradation Model

Neural models compare normalized performance ratios across neighboring inverter blocks to isolate soiling loss from component faults.

Economic Wash-Trigger Calculator

Correlates real-time generation revenue loss against panel cleaning labor and water costs to trigger optimal wash dates.

O&M Dispatch Console

Pushes prioritized field maintenance and wash tickets directly to solar farm site technicians.

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Zero-Hardware, SOC 2 Type II Encrypted Deployment

All data processing executes in isolated single-tenant environments. Proprietary company records, documents, and client communications are strictly encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with zero model retention and no external training on customer data.

Technical & Operational FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (6)

No. Fortiv operates on existing SCADA string inverter telemetry (DC current, voltage) and on-site pyranometer irradiance feeds.

Soiling causes gradual, uniform performance ratio declines across an entire tracker block; component faults cause abrupt single-string current drops.

We support SMA, Sungrow, Huawei, Power Electronics, TMEIC, Schneider Electric, and ABB/Fimer.

Localized numerical weather prediction models check 7-day precipitation probabilities, delaying wash dispatch if significant rain is expected.

Yes. Work orders push directly into SAP PM, Maximo, Infor EAM, and Fiix with automated part lists.

Recovering 2–4% in uncaptured generation delivers $200,000 to $400,000 in additional annual wholesale power revenue.
