PV Doctor Launches Smart O&M Portal, Bringing Advanced Solar Performance Intelligence to Asset Owners Worldwide
PV Doctor today announced the launch of the PV Doctor Smart O&M Portal, a digital platform giving solar asset owners, portfolio managers, investors, and EPC partners direct access to advanced solar performance intelligence.

Built upon years of operational experience and development expertise, the portal turns complex performance data into intuitive visual insights, helping users quickly identify losses, benchmark assets, and make faster, data-driven decision.
The launch is a milestone in PV Doctor's mission to make solar performance analytics more accessible. Insights once delivered through specialist reports and consulting engagements are now available directly through an interactive subscription platform.
"Our vision has always been simple: make solar asset management easier, more transparent, and more actionable. The Smart O&M Portal empowers users to move beyond static reports and interact directly with their performance data whenever they need it." said Dr. André Nobre, Co-Founder & Managing Director of PV Doctor.
The Smart O&M Portal draws on operational insights gathered across more than 2.5 GWp of solar assets, 2,500+ sites, and 22 countries worldwide.
The platform lets users monitor and benchmark assets from portfolio level down to individual meters and inverters, while rapidly identifying anomalies and performance gaps. Core capabilities include portfolio benchmarking, Performance Ratio (PR) evolution, yield versus irradiation analysis, uniformity assessment through Coefficient of Variation (CoV), and visualisation tools built for faster decision-making.
The platform also provides secure user management and data access controls for asset owners, operators, and end customers. All analytics, benchmarking methodologies, and diagnostic modules are developed entirely in-house by PV Doctor's Data Engineering & Analytics team, keeping proprietary algorithms remain under PV Doctor's control and client data is never shared with third-party analytical platforms.
"The Smart O&M Portal brings years of performance engineering experience into a practical, interactive platform. Instead of just visualisation, we help users understand where performance is being lost and take action." said Jason Ward, Head of Performance Engineering.

Solar portfolios often run on diverse monitoring infrastructures. The Smart O&M Portal is built to accommodate a wide range of system architectures and data sources, bringing all clients’ data under a common denominator.
Depending on equipment compatibility and data availability, users access either Live Performance Tracking or PV Doctor's established daily analytics framework. Live monitoring gives near real-time visibility into generation and key performance indicators throughout the day. For other systems, PV Doctor delivers its proven analytics and benchmarking results using validated daily operational datasets. This flexibility lets portfolio owners manage both live-monitoring and conventional monitoring assets through one consistent user experience and a single source of truth.
"Building the Smart O&M Portal in-house meant we could move fast and iterate directly with our clients regarding their actual needs, from live alarm systems to automated digests. Every piece was shaped by the day-to-day realities of monitoring solar assets at scale. The outcome is a highly intuitive interactive portal where clients get all the information they need for effective asset management." said Manav Gupta, Head of Data Engineering & Analytics.
Premium subscribers also gain access to advanced diagnostic modules developed by PV Doctor's Data Engineering & Analytics as well as Scientific Excellence Teams: PV Health Scan, Weather Impact Analysis, Sensor versus Satellite Irradiation Comparison, enhanced benchmarking, anomaly detection, and live KPI alarms, all designed to help users move beyond spotting underperformance and start understanding its root causes.

"Solar performance data can be overwhelming in its raw form, but structured and presented the right way, it becomes a clear narrative that anyone can understand and act on. That clarity is exactly what the Smart O&M Portal is designed to deliver." said Anamika Singh, Senior Data Analyst.
The Smart O&M Portal will expand further throughout the rest of 2026 with six new analytics modules:
-
Loss Decomposition: Breaks down losses by cause; temperature ranks as the top contributor across PV Doctor's core tropical markets.
-
Degradation Analysis: Tracks system-level output decline over time, isolating true degradation from weather and soiling effects.
-
Curtailment Assessment: Quantifies dispatch and grid-driven losses, set to become the leading cause of loss in several markets.
-
Digital Twin: Simulates expected plant output to flag anomalies against real-time operational data.
-
Benchmarking: Compares performance against nearby sites and portfolios to identify under- or overperforming assets.
-
System Maintenance: Lets clients track preventive and reactive maintenance tickets directly within the platform, bringing all relevant O&M aspects under one roof.
These modules will be available for paying subscribers. Availability may vary by system configuration, equipment compatibility, and data quality and granularity at each site.
The launch of the Smart O&M Portal would not have been possible without the trust and collaboration of PV Doctor's growing customer base, spanning a global portfolio of solar assets, systems, and partners.
"Every dashboard, algorithm, and feature within the Smart O&M Portal has been shaped by real-world operational challenges our clients face. This platform is the result of thousands of systems, millions of data points, and countless lessons learned in the field."" said Dr. André Nobre
Clients currently in PV Doctor's complimentary trial programme are encouraged to subscribe during the launch period to secure early-bird pricing, priority onboarding, and exclusive launch benefits. As the platform evolves, subscribers will receive ongoing enhancements and access to future feature releases designed to maximise asset performance and operational efficiency.
PV Doctor is a solar performance analytics and asset management company, spun off from the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Built on years of solar research and real-world operational expertise, PV Doctor helps asset owners maximise energy yield and reduce performance losses across global solar portfolios.
