Detecting Progressive PID Degradation Before It Reaches String Level

A solar asset owner suspects potential-induced degradation across older arrays but cannot confirm it without invasive testing at scale.

How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

PID develops progressively and is invisible in generation data until it is already significant.
Confirming PID conventionally requires taking strings offline for electrical testing.
Without early confirmation, remediation decisions are made too late to be economic.

Successive thermal captures of the same modules are compared over time rather than assessed individually.

Input Signal:

Real-time operational telemetry & queue

Reasoning Pattern:

MCP grounded vector inference

Governance Gate:

Policy constrained with audit write-back

Verified Business Outcomes

Progressive degradation identified before it reached string-level generation loss.
Confirmation without taking strings offline for electrical testing.
Remediation scoped against a measured rather than an estimated population.
