The four patterns that hide losses
- Single-string failure on a multi-string inverter — generation drops but the system still reports 'online'
- Gradual soiling — losses compound through the summer and are easy to miss month-on-month
- Shading from new neighbouring development — slow, seasonal, and not in the original yield model
- Inverter clipping at unexpected times — design-stage assumptions diverging from real conditions
Monitoring applies yield-modelled, weather-normalised alerts to catch each of these before they accumulate into a meaningful revenue loss.
