About

Supernova will aim to increase the O&M grid-friendly design of solar PV plants thanks to advanced software solutions that are evolving the planning, design, and operation of solar PV systems.

The project will take a multi-layered approach, integrating individual solutions into interoperable digital platforms, and utilise the power of AI tools to efficiently manage and control huge amounts of data.

SUPERNOVA will also focus on data sharing as a means of creating mutual benefit for providers and users.

Goals

  1. 1
    Improving the design of solar plants with data for increased performance, reliability, security, and flexibility
  2. 2
    Developing tools and components for different sensor technologies to be adaptable to different environments
  3. 3
    Using robotic solutions to reduce costs, increase data collection, and automate the process
  4. 4
    Using data fusion to generate insights and improve reliability via solar PV asset management software
  5. 5
    Developing methodology to classify solar components based on big data and artificial intelligence
  6. 6
    Increasing the profitability of solar PV systems via operation & maintenance (O&M), and grid-friendly strategies
  7. 7
    Creating confidence and business value in sharing solar PV data
