App Orchid, a leader in making data actionable with AI, and Fracsun, an innovator in solar performance monitoring technology, are proud to announce the latest advancement in their strategic partnership with the launch of an AI-powered soiling loss modeling tool, CLEO AI. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the solar energy industry, providing a sophisticated solution for accurately predicting and mitigating soiling losses in solar installations.
Utilizing Fracsun’s proprietary data and App Orchid’s AI platform, CLEO AI is a predictive machine learning model that considers additional factors that specifically impact soiling loss, fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) concentrations, nitrate and sulfate levels, seasonal trends, and the impacts of wind and precipitation. The result is the ability for users to generate a prediction model for a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) for a specific location of interest to support their ability to granularly forecast operational and maintenance costs.
“Using the large database that we have built to generate typical soiling loss data for a given site was the goal, App Orchid was crucial in helping us build the tool using their expertise in AI decision engines,” said Catlin Mattheis, CEO of Fracsun. “They were able to quickly build out this model which will help refine every production model run and take a lot of risks out of the project development pipeline.”
