AI in renewables: Competitive advantage or expensive hype?

About

In this pv magazine Webinar, you’ll learn how an underperforming inverter, turbine, tracker, or string can be translated into lost revenue, warranty exposure, contractual claims, investor reporting, and maintenance prioritization.

We’ll also explore how AI can optimize power purchase agreement revenues, address curtailment, boost merchant exposure, identify green certificates, and assist with financial reporting before discrepancies become disputes or audit issues.

By the end of the session, you should come away with a good understanding of AI’s potential to assist you in financial, contractual, technical, and compliance decisions and processes. Our speaker will be Santiago Estrada, CEO, QBi Solutions. He will explain how to integrate AI into your technical stack properly so you can retain full oversight of your assets and your data.

Webinar content:

  • Where AI can deliver value
  • Practical use cases vs. costly distractions
  • Why data quality, governance, and human expertise matter
  • Integrating AI: what to do and what not to do
  • Q&A

Audience questions can be submitted beforehand or through the comments window during the webinar. This webinar will be moderated by Blathnaid O’Dea, Features Editor at pv magazine.

Registration for this pv magazine Webinar is free of charge.
