Loss 1 · SoilingDust settles. Output slips.
Soiling takes generation a little at a time. Without cleaning records tied to output, nobody can tell dirt from a failing string.
Loss 2 · FaultsAn inverter trips at 11:40.
The alarm lands in one tool, the work order in another, and the site engineer hears about it from a chat group after lunch.
Loss 3 · ForecastingThe wind changes. The schedule doesn’t.
Every gap between scheduled and delivered energy can become a deviation charge. Wind and solar move faster than a spreadsheet.
Loss 4 · SilosSix functions. Six tools. None of them connected.
Data is pulled together by hand for every report, with a separate contract, renewal and purchase order for every tool, cybersecurity managed tool by tool, and updates on six schedules.
Loss 5 · RegulationThe rules change. Every tool has to catch up.
Scheduling and deviation rules, grid codes and cybersecurity guidelines keep changing. With separate tools, each vendor updates on its own timetable and your team covers the gap by hand.
