German: German startup Invertix has unveiled a suite of 22 specialised AI “workers” designed to manage operation and maintenance (O&M) for solar power plants. The system aims to reduce manual workloads while allowing human oversight for high-risk decisions.
CEO and co-founder Joseph Perrotta said the AI agents are specifically tailored for solar and renewables, capable of analysing inverter faults, Modbus registers, and SCADA data autonomously. “Critical decisions are escalated to humans, similar to an experienced technician working independently but consulting on major issues,” he explained.
Invertix conducted over 500 discovery calls with asset managers, O&M teams, energy traders, and IPP executives across Europe, analysing SCADA systems, maintenance schedules, and regulatory reporting to pinpoint inefficiencies. Their findings revealed that manual processes dominate daily operations, including alarm classification, performance reporting, and regulatory compliance, limiting portfolio growth.
Each AI worker focuses on a specific function. For example, in technical asset management, agents handle SCADA monitoring, alarm and event analysis, and grid performance evaluation. These agents process thousands of data points per minute, prioritising relevant alarms and identifying network issues before outages occur.
Costs for each AI worker range from €2,000 to €4,000 per month, with departmental fees. Actions follow a three-stage model – inform, recommend, act – ensuring humans retain final decision-making authority.
Founded in February 2026, Invertix has already piloted projects with Italian O&M providers managing 1.5 GW of solar assets and an IPP managing 350 MW. The company plans to expand its AI portfolio, improve models with client data, and invite renewable operators to submit underperforming SCADA data for analysis.
