AI-native solar operations,
from telemetry to action.
A unified operations layer for plant telemetry, analytics, alerts, workflows, reports, and automation — designed for O&M teams who want clear answers, not more raw data.

The Problem
Solar teams don't need more data. They need clear answers.
Most plants already generate large volumes of telemetry from inverters, meters, weather stations, string boxes, and grid equipment. When that data lives in different portals, spreadsheets, and email reports, simple operational questions become slow to answer.
Scattered tools
Inverter portals, meter dashboards, SCADA exports, Excel files, and email reports — each with their own login.
Hidden underperformance
Plants can lose generation while everything looks “online” — derating, sensor drift, soiling, communication gaps.
Manual reporting
Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries built from screenshots and spreadsheet copy-paste.
Slow root cause
Weather, inverter, meter, string, and grid data must be compared by hand to explain a generation drop.
Reactive maintenance
Teams react to alarms with limited context, leading to repeat site visits and avoidable cost.
Disconnected AI
Generic chatbots can't see real telemetry, alerts, or equipment context — so they can't help with operations.
How It Works
From plant telemetry to operational action.
A clean path from raw signals to clear decisions, with AI doing the heavy preparation before humans approve and act.
01
Connect
Stream telemetry from inverters, meters, weather stations, string boxes, and grid equipment into the platform's IoT layer.
02
Analyze
Solar Connect turns raw messages into plant, inverter, meter, SMB, weather, and grid analytics — with freshness and availability built in.
03
Investigate
Compare equipment, weather, and grid signals side by side. Ask the AI assistant to summarize exceptions and likely causes with supporting evidence.
04
Act
Move alerts through their lifecycle, dispatch maintenance with context, automate reports, and route notifications to the right team.
What You Get
Built for
solar operations teams.
One operational view across plants, inverters, meters, strings, weather, and alerts — designed for O&M teams who want to find issues fast and act with confidence.
📊
Plant performance visibility
Plant-level views of generation, availability, telemetry freshness, alerts, energy, power, irradiance, and temperature — together in one place.
⚡
Inverter, meter & string analytics
Inspect inverter output, meter electrical signals, SMB and string telemetry, and weather context to find the underperforming asset fast.
🔍
Hidden loss detection
Combine plant, inverter, meter, weather, source, and grid views to surface derating, sensor drift, curtailment, and communication gaps.
☀
Weather correlation
Correlate generation with irradiance, ambient and module temperature, wind, and humidity to separate equipment issues from environmental ones.
🔌
Grid & DG statistics
Track import/export, net energy, self-consumption, frequency, power factor, phase voltage, and power-quality indicators alongside production.
🔔
Alert lifecycle management
Move alerts through open → in-progress → resolved → closed → reopened with full history, severity, owner, and resolution notes.
✨
AI-assisted investigation
Ask operational questions in natural language. AI agents query devices, telemetry, time-series, and alerts through controlled tools — humans stay in control of sensitive actions.
🗓
Scheduled reporting
Daily, weekly, and monthly reports with exception summaries, optional human review, and delivery through in-app, email, or webhook channels.
📡
Broad device integration
Onboard inverters, smart meters, weather stations, string monitoring boxes, grid analyzers, and SCADA gateways from most major manufacturers — over standard protocols (Modbus, SunSpec, IEC 61850, MQTT, REST) without custom middleware.
AI That Works On Real Plant Data
Ask operational questions in plain language
“Which inverters have stale telemetry in the last 15 minutes?”
“Show today's underperforming sections compared with irradiance.”
“Why did plant output drop at 2 PM?”
“Summarize open critical alerts and likely affected equipment.”
“Prepare a daily generation and exceptions summary.”
Through the Model Context Protocol, approved Solar Connect tools can be called from external AI clients with the right organization and permission context. No need to leave the AI workspace your team already uses.
MCP integration is opt-in per organization and respects existing permissions.
Solar Connect is one app on the
Gronox platform.
Identity, RBAC, multi-tenant data separation, and the same AI workspace carry over automatically — plus Service Connect and every other app that lands on the platform.
