Leveraging AI & machine learning, we aim to develop an innovative solution for predictive maintenance of solar energy systems. The project will utilize computer vision and predictive analytics to monitor and predict potential failures, optimizing maintenance schedules and reducing downtime.

📋Project Details

Our startup focuses on enhancing the efficiency of solar energy systems through cutting-edge AI & Machine Learning technologies. This project seeks to develop a predictive maintenance solution that uses computer vision and predictive analytics to continuously monitor solar panels and related equipment. Using advanced algorithms like those supported by TensorFlow and PyTorch, and integrating APIs from OpenAI, the system will analyze visual and performance data to predict equipment failures before they occur. We intend to implement a robust solution that can be deployed on the edge using Edge AI capabilities, ensuring real-time insights without the need for constant cloud connectivity. By harnessing AutoML and other tools, we aim to streamline the model training process, making the solution adaptable to various solar array configurations and geographic conditions. The anticipated outcome is reduced operational costs, extended equipment lifespan, and maximized energy output.
