Going Cold Turkey on Power? No Thanks! Oven-roasted or turbine-fried... how would you like your turkey cooked? Big thanks to the utility workers who keep our ovens cooking, fryers frying, and lights shining—Without you, we’d all be going cold turkey on power, and on our warm dinners too! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃⚡ #Thanksgiving #Thankful #KeepingTheLightsOn

We enjoyed hosting Bobby Noble in Atlanta earlier this week. It’s always a pleasure to catch up with him and hear about all the exciting things Bobby and his team are working on at EPRI.

A big thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts and experiences so far! Your feedback is invaluable. We're still looking for more voices to join this collaborative initiative. If you're open to: • Participating in a Demo: See our solution in action. • Providing Feedback: Influence the development to better suit industry needs. • Discussing Industry Needs: Share your perspective on PV monitoring. Please reach out via LinkedIn. Together, we can drive positive change in PV asset management. #GetInvolved #EnergyInnovation #Community

Ever wonder how solar power plants hold up over time? We’ve analyzed a decade of data to find out. We used our U.S.-wide PV digital twin, which models every large-scale system in the United States, to track how these plants perform since achieving peak output. The data shows annualized performance loss rates across different rated capacities, with median degradation illustrated by black lines. Most plants perform well, maintaining a loss rate between 0% and 1%. However, smaller sites tend to experience higher degradation rates, with a broader range of performance—some even facing severe loss. Meanwhile, larger utility-scale sites generally see lower degradation, although a subset in the 20-50 MW range requires closer attention. Although most solar plants degrade within expected ranges, smaller sites and mid-sized plants (20-50 MW) present more variability. Further analysis is needed to explore how factors like plant age and owner-operator management affect performance. What trends are you seeing in solar performance? Share your experiences or thoughts on how plant age and management could be influencing degradation.

Are you involved with a PV plant over 1 MW in size? We're inviting PV plant owners and operators to: • Test Our Solution: Help us refine it with your real-world feedback. • Share Your Needs: What features would make PV monitoring more effective for you? Our goal is to create a tool that truly meets the industry's needs, and we believe that collaboration is the key. Interested in joining forces? Let's connect and explore how we can work together. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Innovation #Teamwork

We understand that every PV plant has its unique challenges. We're eager to learn more about: • Common Issues: What DC side failures do you encounter most? • Desired Features: What would you like to see in a monitoring solution? By sharing your experiences, you help us and others in the industry address these challenges more effectively. Join the conversation! Comment below or send us a message. Let's tackle these issues together. #CleanTech #EnergyCommunity #PVInnovation #Feedback

Calling All PV Plant Owners and Operators We're developing a real-time monitoring solution that detects DC side failures in PV plants. What's unique? • Seamless Integration: Fits into existing systems effortlessly. • No Model Training Needed: Ready to use from day one. • Continuous Operation: Monitors your assets around the clock. Now, we want to hear from you: What challenges do you face with current PV monitoring systems? Your insights are crucial. Let's collaborate to enhance PV asset management for everyone.

Let’s give Jared Kee another shoutout, this time for his love of the outdoors! As CEO of Turbine Logic, Jared balances his time between guiding our company and enjoying the outdoors. He’s an avid hiker who loves exploring North Georgia’s trails and national parks. Most recently, Jared and his wife hiked across Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska, an unforgettable experience. For Jared, hiking is a way to disconnect, reflect, and enjoy time with family – giving him the balance that fuels his leadership at Turbine Logic.

Looking forward to our own Chris Perullo's talk about digital twins and their use in industry at this year's UPISC Workshop.

Meet Scott Sheppard! As a Senior Tech Lead at Turbine Logic, Scott architects solutions across a wide range of energy generation technologies, with a recent focus on utility-scale solar modeling. His deep passion for clean energy drives his work, and he’s led some of our most impactful PV projects. Outside of work, Scott enjoys hiking and immersing himself in nature. Whether spotting birds, shy forest critters, or even the occasional tarantula, he’s always keen to explore new environments. Recently, Scott took on the trails near the Matterhorn in Switzerland, capturing some incredible views along the way. Check out these photos from his adventures!
