In your words
block, table, string, combiner, MVPS, skid, PR, soiling, clipping, stow, hotspot, bypass diode, I-V curve.
What you watch: performance ratio (temperature-corrected); availability (by the contract’s formula); planned maintenance done on time; inverter availability; strings down; energy lost to soiling; thermography defects open; cleaning cost per MWp.
What is not here yet
- Permits to work, including HV and DC isolation: coming in Q2 2027.
- Planned outages and shutdowns: coming in Q4 2027.
Common questions
Do contractors and clients pay?
No. Contractors, clients, requesters and viewers are free, with no limit. You pay for your own staff.
Do we have to keep the starting plans?
No. Every interval and check is a starting point: change it, switch it off or add your own.
Is this legal advice?
No. The duty rows say what the law or guidance they cite asks, and every one is marked to be checked. Check your own duty-holder advice.
