We start by building a detailed digital replica of your plant, by creating and adding up digital twins of each node. The bottom-up addition of yield expectations for each string in RealTime, produces the most accurate estimate of your plant’s generation capacity at any time with unprecedented granularity and accuracy.
Solar Asset Management Platform
Secret Sauce - Digital Twins at the Core
This means not one Digital Twin, but Twins, Triplets, often 500 Mini Twins for a 50MW Plant.
Next, we leverage these special purpose mini twins for identifying and quantifying shading, soiling, insulation, long term degradation, anomalies, due diligence etc. This lets us arrive at the most precise benchmark for your plant.
This true Condition based Maintenance guidance, with alerts, are benchmarked to our proprietary Digital Twin baseline. They help you improve plant generation by 2 – 4% and O&M efficiency by 15%
Seamlessly integrating with your plants, our cloud-only solution causes zero disruption to your existing systems.
We then optimize your asset performance as our Digital Twins learn and adapt to your plant’s inherent characteristics over time. You can call these iterations and their compounding effect stitch-in-time, or daily improvements like the Toyota way. It all means increased profitability today, and better plant monetization even in 2027 and 2034.

Our Clients say...
We worked with Quadrical to build a data platform, consolidating our plant data onto a common schema. Quadrical built out the schema with Al capabilities to help 0&M teams to identify and rectify anomalies, prioritised by revenue impact. There are many players who claim capabilities and tools in Artificial Intelligence, but none have the true depth of technical abilities that Quadrical brings to the table.
As we onboarded 25 plants with Quadrical in 45 days, we’ve been impressed with their ability to fully own data quality and connectivity. With advanced Analytics-as-a-Service, we’re already seeing the benefits with insights available for our operations team to identify the plant performance issues and possible breakdowns proactively. I am now confident that this platform has the potential to transform the way we do our operations. Look forward to us optimize our entire 1000MW+ portfolio while monitoring it in near RealTime.
