Inverters are the bottleneck of PV plant reliability
They cause 70% of O&M events and 36% of energy losses, with a useful life of 10-15 years vs. the 25-30 years of the modules they serve.

The Solution
Physics-Informed AI That Knows Your Inverters
InverterAI fuses Coffin-Manson, Arrhenius and PINN models with SCADA data to deliver auditable RUL predictions you can act on.
PINN-based RUL
Physics-Informed Neural Networks forecast remaining useful life of IGBT modules, capacitors and cooling systems with confidence intervals spanning 1 to 20 years.

Forecast Horizon
Coffin-Manson Fatigue Model
Quantifies IGBT thermal cycling fatigue using Coffin-Manson kinetics and rainflow cycle counting to predict solder and bond-wire degradation.

Arrhenius Capacitor Aging
Models electrolytic capacitor degradation with Arrhenius kinetics — every 10°C rise halves remaining life. Tracks ESR drift and capacitance decay continuously.

SCADA Ingestion
Multi-OEM telemetry: Huawei, Sungrow, SMA, TMEIC, Power Electronics
A deep technical walkthrough of how junction-temperature swings drive IGBT module fatigue, why utility-scale PV inverters are particularly exposed, and how the Coffin-Manson equation lets you predict failure from SCADA data alone.
A practical, non-academic introduction to Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN), why they extrapolate where standard deep learning fails, and how InverterAI uses them to predict PV inverter component lifetimes from limited field data.
A side-by-side, numbers-based comparison of reactive, calendar-based and physics-informed predictive O&M for utility-scale PV inverters — including the hidden costs that rarely make it into vendor pitches.
