Watchdogs
Watchdogs are advanced analytics features powered by GPM solutions, powered by artificial intelligence and machine-learning models. Watchdogs oversee the production of your assets, and when they identify an issue or problem that can potentially impact the performance of your assets they automatically trigger "findings".
Findings are presented as key performance indicators (KPIs) at the level of the entire portfolio, or of individual sites.
Watchdog KPIs
| KPI | Description |
| Actual AC energy (measured) | Energy output generated by your assets over a given time period. |
| Theoretical AC energy (expected) | Estimates the amount of energy that your assets are expected to generate, based on specific parameters (for example, weather conditions, time of day, and system specifications) |
| Data reliability | Quality and reliability of the data collected from your assets. This measurement allows for improved accuracy to calculate KPIs. |
| Losses | Difference between the theoretical and actual energy production. This provides an indication of how much energy is lost due to specific factors (for example, shade, system failures, or other operational issues). |
| Performance Ratio | Compares the actual energy production to the amount of energy that could potentially be generated under ideal conditions, expressed as a percentage. This provides an accurate indication of the efficiency of your assets. |
| Site availability | Amount of time that your assets are operational, expressed as a percentage of the total time. |
| Site impact | Estimate of the impact of specific losses on the overall performance of a site performance, expressed as a percentage of the theoretical production. |
