Why this happens

Each symptom maps to a section of the report

The report doesn't just flag a problem — it isolates which inverter is responsible and what it's costing you.

Underperforming assets
↓ diagnosed by

Performance Ratio Analysis — every inverter ranked against the IEC 0.80 PR target, so you know exactly which units are below spec.

Hidden production losses
↓ diagnosed by

Physics-Based & Anomaly Detection Analysis — degradation and fault signatures correlated against expected output for actual weather, not just a missed-target flag.

Reactive maintenance
↓ diagnosed by

Recommendations — a ranked 7-day, 30-day, and long-term action list, so the highest-loss inverter gets fixed first instead of whichever fails loudest.

Multiple OEM dashboards
↓ diagnosed by

One reconciled report — solar generation, municipality meter, and site load decomposed into a single energy balance, regardless of inverter brand.

What you get

The financial case

A bill discrepancy isn't a billing problem.

If you consume solar behind the meter, lost generation doesn't just vanish from a report — it shows up on next month's utility bill.

Step 1

Solar production fails

When an inverter underperforms or shuts down during daylight hours, your site load doesn't change — you simply stop generating the energy you expected to use for free.

Lost generation potential
Step 2

Grid replaces the shortfall

The municipality meter immediately compensates for the missing solar energy, billed at full Time-of-Use rates regardless of your original ROI model.

R4.00 – R6.50 / kWh replacement cost
Result

Avoided cost is lost

There's no "double loss" — the reality is simpler. Your solar failed to displace expensive grid power. That's why bills spike by double digits with no change in consumption.

R5.10 / kWh blended average
From the sample report — 2.31MW site, 74.1% PR vs 80% IEC target

A 5.9 percentage-point PR gap on this site works out to a 291,279 kWh shortfall over the analysis period. Left uncorrected, that's projected at R1,146,878 per year in avoidable grid replacement cost. Fixing 50% of the shortfall alone recovers an estimated R573,439 annually.

These are the actual figures from the linked sample report — not illustrative placeholders.

Proof, not a pitch

Sibaya Casino, Durban — 2.31MW rooftop

An engineering manager noticed a 16% gap between current and previous municipality readings — the energy use didn't add up. The Energy At Risk report traced the variance to 4 of 7 inverters with hardware faults, calculated R8.8M in projected annual losses at eThekwini TOU tariff, and prioritised exactly which component to fix first.

Before you order

What to prepare

Four things, gathered once, before you pay. No installation, no integration call.

1

Export hourly interval data

From your inverter portal (Huawei FusionSolar, Enphase Enlighten, Solarman, SolarEdge, etc.) — minimum 30 days, ideally 6–12 months, as CSV. See supported OEM formats →

2

Optional: utility meter data

If you have access to municipality or grid meter readings, export as CSV or JSON for the same period to reconcile the full energy balance.

3

Note your array's lat/long

Use Google Maps or your inverter portal — right-click your site location and copy coordinates.

4

Describe your solar load

Total installed capacity (kWp), number of inverters, tilt and azimuth if known, and any known faults or maintenance events during the period.

Common questions

Before you ask support

My meters don't reconcile — is that what this solves?

Exactly. If there's a gap between your solar generation meter, municipality meter, and site load, the EAR report decomposes that variance, attributes it to specific inverters, and puts a Rand figure on it.

Can I show this to my GM or CFO?

That's the point. The report is a boardroom-ready PDF with energy balance reconciliation, per-inverter attribution, and financial impact in your local currency, following IEC 61724 methodology — suitable for warranty claims, lender reviews, or insurer assessments.

What data do I need?

A CSV export from your inverter portal covering at least 30 days (ideally 6–12 months), plus your site's lat/long coordinates. We auto-detect the OEM format — no manual configuration needed.

Is there a discount for multiple sites?

Yes. For portfolio analysis (3+ sites), contact us for bundled pricing.
