Client Challenge
Where they were stuck
- Installers manage dozens of plants across multiple inverter brands.
- Solarman's stock portal is not designed for multi-tenant O&M workflows.
- Underperformance is spotted weeks late, costing generation revenue.

Project Overview
The engagement
A concept operations cockpit that pulls live production, string-level performance and fault data from the Solarman API into a single dashboard for installers, O&M teams and end customers.
Our Solution
What we built
- Direct integration with the Solarman OpenAPI for real-time and historical data.
- Fleet view with alerts on string dropouts, curtailment and communication loss.
- Per-plant customer portal — branded per installer.
- Automated monthly performance PDFs for asset owners.

Results
The outcome they feel every day
Faster fault response
String-level issues surface in minutes, not weeks.
Higher lifetime yield
Systematically closes the gap between design and actual generation.
Brand-building for installers
White-label customer portal turns O&M into a retention product.
"This is the operations layer every serious solar installer will need as fleets grow past a hundred rooftops."
