Production Forecasting

Predictive models for solar generation planning

Machine Learning Models

Neural network algorithms trained on historical performance data predict generation output 1-7 days ahead. Models account for weather forecasts, seasonal patterns, and installation-specific characteristics. Accuracy: 85-92% for day-ahead predictions.

Weather Integration

Forecast models integrate meteorological data including cloud cover predictions, temperature forecasts, precipitation probability, and wind patterns. Weather service APIs update hourly for continuously refined predictions.

Probabilistic Forecasting

Uncertainty quantification provides confidence intervals for predictions. P10, P50, and P90 forecast scenarios enable risk assessment and planning for grid operators and energy managers.

Historical Data Analysis

Multi-year performance trends showing seasonal variations and long-term capacity factor stability

Pattern Recognition

Identifying performance trends across temporal scales

Daily Patterns

Sun path analysis, shading identification, and peak production timing. Identifies morning/afternoon asymmetries indicating orientation issues or localized obstructions.

Monthly Cycles

Seasonal irradiance variations, temperature coefficient impacts, and soiling accumulation patterns. Comparison with long-term averages highlights anomalous months.

Annual Trends

Year-over-year performance changes, degradation rate calculation, and capacity factor stability. Multi-year analysis separates weather variability from equipment aging.

Anomaly Detection

Automated algorithms continuously monitor performance data to identify deviations from expected behavior:

  • Sudden Drops: Inverter failures, string disconnections, or severe shading events
  • Gradual Decline: Accelerated degradation or persistent soiling accumulation
  • Underperformance: Output below predicted levels given irradiance conditions
  • String Imbalance: Significant differences in parallel string output indicating localized issues

Detection thresholds are dynamically adjusted based on historical variability and installation-specific characteristics to minimize false positives while ensuring genuine issues are flagged promptly.

Loss Analysis

Quantifying factors reducing energy output

System Losses

DC wiring resistance, inverter conversion inefficiency, transformer losses. Typical: 5-8% of theoretical output.

Shading Losses

Obstructions from buildings, trees, adjacent rows. Varies with sun angle, time of day. Identified through string-level monitoring.

Soiling Losses

Dust, bird droppings, pollen accumulation. Geographic and seasonal variation. 2-8% typical, higher in agricultural areas.

Snow Losses

Winter-specific for Canadian installations. Depends on tilt angle, snow persistence, ambient temperature. Can reach 20-40% in northern regions December-February.
