PlantAI Solar: SCADA, PPC, RMS & BESS EMS for Solar Plants

PlantAI Solar brings edge SCADA, a cloud portal and AI to remote, unmanned solar plants — so your team sees every device every second and acts before energy is lost.

One Platform for the Whole Solar Plant

From the string to the grid connection, and from the site to the boardroom.

SCADA & Power Plant Controllers (PPC)

Edge SCADA on an industrial PC at site reads inverters, every string, meters, VCB/ACB, transformer, relay and weather every 1–5 seconds, with a live single-line diagram. Plant control stays local, at site or over VPN.

Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS)

An India-hosted cloud portal and mobile app: every plant on one screen, 1-minute data, WhatsApp/SMS/e-mail alerts, link-loss alarms and an open REST API for ERP, SAP or Power BI.

BESS Energy Management Systems (EMS)

Battery and DC-system monitoring on the same open Modbus platform, with AI day-ahead forecasts in 15-minute blocks to plan storage and schedules against the grid.

What a Remote Solar Plant Loses Without Visibility

A datalogger tells you what happened yesterday.

Unmanned

Most plants are remote; faults wait for the next site visit.

1 month

A dead string can go unnoticed until the next manual inspection.

10–20 min

Delay before a datalogger cloud even shows an inverter trip.

₹2.2 lakh/yr

What a 2 MW plant can recover with real-time monitoring and AI.

How PlantAI Works

Edge SCADA at the plant does the real-time work; a cloud portal brings it to everyone else.

Field Devices

Inverters, every string, meters, VCB/ACB, transformer, relay, DC battery, weather.

Gateways

One per cable run (Modbus RTU/TCP), so one fault never blinds the plant.

PlantAI Edge

Industrial PC at site: reads every 1–5 s, runs alarms, AI and reports; works without internet.

PlantAI Cloud

India-hosted portal: every plant, 1-minute data, alerts and API.

Your Team

Browser, Android and iPhone app, WhatsApp, SMS and e-mail alerts.

Open standard — Modbus, no brand lock-in

Bankable KPIs — calculated to IEC 61724-1

Safe by design — cloud can acknowledge, never control

Made for Plants With No Engineer on Site

Tested: link cut, nothing lost, gap refilled within a minute.

Alerts to Phones

WhatsApp, SMS and e-mail to the right person, by plant and severity.

Link-Loss Alarm

If a plant stops reporting for 3 minutes, its contacts are told.

Nothing Is Lost

The edge queues up to 45 days of data during outages and uploads it when the link returns.

Acknowledge by Phone

An engineer acks on the phone; the plant records who and when.

Self-Healing

Services restart themselves, with health checks on every component.

Secure by Design

Cloud cannot operate breakers or inverters; control stays at site or over VPN. Built with ISO 27001 security practice.

PlantAI Cloud fleet overview with one card per plant

Cloud Fleet Overview

Plants online, fleet output, energy and revenue today, and critical alarms — one card per plant.

Live single-line diagram with breaker states and energised paths

Live Single-Line Diagram

Drawn from configuration: breaker positions in IEC colours, energised paths, ABT main and check meters.

Inverter comparison table with efficiency, insulation and availability

Inverters vs the Fleet

Efficiency, output, heat-sink temperature and insulation per inverter — weak units stand out before they trip.

String current heatmap with automatic fault diagnosis

String Monitoring

Every string compared with its neighbours; open circuits, blown fuses and failed bypass diodes found in minutes.

Performance analytics with daily PR and generation against budget

Performance Analytics (IEC 61724-1)

Daily and temperature-corrected PR, generation against P50 budget, availability and specific yield.

Plant overview with live KPIs, energy flow and active alarms

Plant Overview

Live KPIs with targets, revenue and CO₂, breakers and trips, DC insulation, live power flow and alarms.

How AI & Machine Learning Benefit Your Plant

Models run on your own edge server — your data never leaves for an outside AI service.

Day-Ahead Forecast

Next 36 hours in 15-minute blocks with a P10–P90 band.

→ Fewer DSM deviation charges

Expected-Power Model

What the plant should make now from sun and temperature.

→ Shortfalls seen in minutes

Peer Comparison

Each string against neighbours, each inverter against the fleet.

→ Weak units found automatically

Loss Attribution

Splits losses into heat, dust, clipping, downtime and cables.

→ Know where to act first, in ₹

Smart Cleaning

Tracks daily dust loss against the cost of a cleaning cycle.

→ Clean when it pays

Failure Early Warning

Transformer ageing (IEC 60076-7) and insulation trends.

→ Fix in a planned shutdown

PlantAI vs Datalogger + Vendor Cloud

What each one does for your plant.

What matters to youDatalogger + vendor cloudPlantAI edge + cloud
How often data is recordedEvery 10 minutes or slowerEvery 1–5 s at site; 1 min in cloud
Values per deviceAbout 25All of them, plus every string

Alarm speed10–20 min; SMS often extraSeconds at site; WhatsApp/SMS/e-mail
Early warning before a tripNoYes: limits, trends, insulation, AI
If the internet failsNo live view at site; gapsSite keeps running; cloud gap refilled
Data ownership & APIVendor’s cloud; limited or paid APIFull history on your server; REST API (OpenAPI 3)
Yearly costLicence × plant kW, every yearFlat per plant: AMC + cloud

Best suited to ground-mounted plants of 1 MW and above, remote plants with no engineer on site, and government and institutional campuses.

Complete Supply: Hardware, WMS & Software

Everything the plant needs for monitoring and control, supplied and integrated by one partner — from the weather station to the cloud.

Weather Monitoring Station (WMS)

Pyranometers for GHI and plane-of-array irradiance, module-back and ambient temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and rain — selected to suit your plant’s IEC 61724-1 monitoring class.

PlantAI Edge Hardware

Fanless industrial PC in the control panel, on UPS, with local storage for the plant’s full history — keeps running without internet.

Communication & Network

Modbus RTU/TCP gateways and protocol converters for every communication loop, managed switches, firewall, VPN and 4G/fibre routers, with surge protection.

Existing Equipment Integration

We connect your plant’s existing ABT main and check meters, multifunction meters, VCB/ACB, protection relay, transformer and DC battery system over Modbus, mapped register by register. The equipment itself is supplied by others.

Commercial Software & Licences

Licensed operating system, database, SCADA/HMI and security software where your specification calls for it — supplied, patched and renewed under AMC.

Panels, Converters & Commissioning

SCADA and communication panels, signal converters, isolators and fibre media converters, with configuration, site acceptance tests, operator training and AMC.

Supply→Configure→Integrate→Commission→Support

Scope note: we supply the hardware, sensors and converters, and configure, integrate and commission the system. Cabling, erection work and plant electrical equipment (energy meters, protection relays, switchgear) are not in our scope — they are provided by the client or their electrical / EPC contractor, and we integrate them.
