In a more dangerous and divided world, energy security increasingly depends not just on how much solar and storage we build, but on how well we understand, trust and operate those assets. The panel connects that journey from Thorsten Trupke’s luminescence-based detection of physical module defects, to Dan Leary’s physics-based energy accounting and performance benchmarking, Mousa Sondoqah’s use of AI agents to turn PV data into actionable intelligence, and Brandon Fitchett’s work on standardized data and fleet-level KPIs. They tell a story of moving from knowing the asset, to trusting the data, to understanding it, and ultimately acting on it.
This panel concludes the From Data to Dispatch: AI, Digital Twins and VPP Architectures for Bankable PV+Storage Portfolios session (Tuesday, November 17th, 9:00 - 11:00 am). Attendees are encouraged to join for the full two hours to get the most from the discussion.
