PATCH User Manual
We monitor every single panel, not just the plant
PATCH monitors every panel in your solar plant individually. Second-level data collection, 12 anomaly types auto-detected, AI-powered loss analysis β we find the gaps in your generation revenue.
What makes PATCH different?
Panel-level Monitoring
Measures output, current, and voltage per individual panel β not per inverter. Pinpoint 1 problem panel out of hundreds.
Second-level Data
Collects real-time data, not 5-minute averages. Catches momentary shading and intermittent faults.
12 Anomaly Types Auto-detected
From no-current to temperature rise β 12 anomaly types classified into 3 severity levels (Critical, Warning, Info).
Field-Office Connection
Devices registered in the PATCH Field app appear instantly on the office dashboard. Field comments keep your team in sync.
How you can use PATCH
Check the anomaly dispatch table each morning, then plan field visits by priority score.
Register MLPE devices via the PATCH Field app after installation, then verify the layout map matches reality.
Review monthly loss reports by type (shading, soiling, fault) to identify revenue improvement opportunities.
Real-time Monitoring
View generation status per panel, inverter, and string as charts, percentages, or numbers. Switch freely between 13 measurement types and compare by date.
Anomaly Detection
Automatically classify anomalies into 3 levels: Danger, Warning, and Attention. Priority scores (Danger x9 + Warning x3 + Attention x1) guide action priority.
Loss Analysis Reports
Track loss ratios by 4 types -- shading, soiling, failure, and indirect -- over time. Save reports as images for sharing.

Register MLPE devices, view layout maps, and share field comments in the PATCH Field app.
