One-Year Product Roadmap
From monitoring to an AI-native operating intelligence layer.
The plan for the next four quarters: evolve nxtGrid from a renewable monitoring and asset-management platform into a single AI-native intelligence layer across Solar, Wind and BESS — one that progressively answers what happened, what's abnormal, why, what happens next, what to do about it, and what it's worth.

Multi-technology intelligence foundation
From monitoring to intelligent asset operations.
BESSCommercial release
BESS Intelligence Platform
- Fleet and site intelligence across SOC, SOH, usable capacity, RTE, availability and asset status.
- Capacity degradation, recoverable vs. permanent capacity loss, and weak-component detection.
- Cell/rack voltage, temperature and resistance analytics with peer-based anomaly detection.
- Warranty-risk monitoring and operating-envelope visibility.
- Safety precursor analytics: abnormal thermal rise, rack divergence, HVAC degradation and correlated risk signals.
AI · Cross-fleet
AI Equipment Intelligence Foundation
- Expected-vs-actual behaviour models shared across Solar, Wind and BESS.
- Equipment health scoring, peer benchmarking, deterioration detection and recurrence analysis.
- Common event, loss-attribution and root-cause-analysis engines.
- Energy-impact ranking, so the platform prioritises what matters operationally.
AI · Cross-fleet
AI Data Reliability
- Telemetry health score: stale/frozen sensor, timestamp and communication-quality detection.
- Sensor-validation and data-confidence indicators attached to every AI finding.
- Traceable KPI provenance, so operators can see what a recommendation is based on.
AI · Platform
Operations Chatbot Expansion
- Asset-level queries, anomaly summaries and historical comparisons.
- Conversational access to "what changed?", "what is abnormal?" and "what requires attention?" workflows.
PredictQ1 2027 · Jan – Mar
Predictive operations across Solar, Wind & BESS
Move from detecting problems to predicting performance and losses.
WindCommercial release · Mar '27
Wind Intelligence Platform
- Turbine availability, expected-vs-actual power curves and wind-speed-normalised performance.
- Turbine-to-turbine benchmarking and persistent underperformance detection.
- Yaw misalignment and pitch-system analytics.
- Condition intelligence for gearbox, bearings, generator, converter and transformer where telemetry permits.
- CMS/vibration integration where available, recurring fault analysis and predictive health indicators.
- Wake-adjusted performance analytics (beta).
Commercial · AI
Forecast-to-Schedule Intelligence
- Day-ahead and intraday Solar and Wind forecasts with block-level outputs.
- Probabilistic P10/P50/P90 confidence bands with continuous forecast-error learning.

Solar
Solar Autonomous O&M — Phase I
- Tracker commanded-vs-actual angle, stuck-tracker and intermittent-actuator detection.
- Tracker-specific loss calculation, inspection prioritisation and actuator degradation analytics.
- AI soiling estimation and cleaning ROI calculation.
- Recommended cleaning date based on expected recoverable energy, not a fixed schedule.
- Robotic cleaning integration: schedule, coverage, machine health, missed areas and post-cleaning recovery verification.
BESS
BESS Intelligence 2.0
- Warranty-envelope tracking across throughput, SOC window, temperature exposure, cycling and RTE.
- Degradation trajectory and Remaining Useful Life models.
- Thermal-risk precursor analytics and HVAC-performance deterioration.

AI Copilot & predictive maintenance
Turn portfolio data into decisions and work.
AI · Platform
nxtGrid Operations Copilot 2.0
- Portfolio-wide conversational intelligence across SCADA, alarms, weather, CMMS, equipment history, forecasts, schedules and maintenance records.
- Explains why generation dropped, which equipment to inspect first, and which issues are costing the most.
- Compares asset deterioration across 7/30/90-day windows and identifies similar historical failures.
- Generates evidence-backed RCA with confidence, recommended action and quantified energy/revenue impact.
AI · Platform
AI Morning Operations Brief
- Daily summary of yesterday's losses, abnormal assets, today's forecast, priority work, schedule risk and BESS opportunities.
AI · Platform
AI Incident Investigator
For trips and sudden MW drops
- Reconstructs the event timeline, correlates alarms, telemetry and weather, compares historical patterns and recommends the next inspection or action.
AI · Platform
Digital Twin — Phase I
- Data-driven operational twins for solar inverters, transformers and trackers; wind turbines; and BESS PCS, containers and racks.
- Continuously compares expected state vs. actual state, quantifies deviation and tracks deterioration.
- Starts with operational/statistical twins; adds physics models selectively where they materially improve accuracy.
Commercial · Platform
Predictive Maintenance & AI Work Planning
- 7/30/90-day failure-risk scoring and expected intervention windows.
- Remaining Useful Life models where sufficient telemetry exists.
- Prioritises work using technical severity × recoverable generation × financial impact × weather × spare availability.
