Plants and analytics

Cold start and model maturity

What you see on day one, and how estimates improve as your data accrues.

Quick answer

On day one your plant gets a physics-based digital twin built from its layout (tilt, azimuth, capacity) and a provisional soiling estimate transferred from the most similar climate zone we have models for. Both are labeled provisional. As weeks of your own data accrue, plant-specific models are trained automatically and replace the provisional ones.

Day one: provisional estimates

Digital twin
A physics model of expected production built from the layout you entered in the wizard plus satellite weather. Available immediately.
Soiling
A transfer estimate from the nearest climate analog among our foundation models, labeled as provisional with wider confidence bounds.

Provisional results carry a visible label and a model version. They are honest estimates, good enough to plan a first cleaning review, but expect them to shift as real data arrives.

The upgrade ladder

  • First data lands within about 15 minutes of connecting a cloud source.
  • Daily analytics start with the first full days of production history.
  • Once enough days of clean data accrue, per-inverter soiling models are trained on your plant and the provisional label disappears.
  • Models keep retraining as seasons change; the model version shown with each result tells you what produced it.
