Solar PV Plant Operations Engineer
Ingest dry-cleaning robot battery telemetry and specific array string soiling data.
Calculate optimal cleaning paths using pvlib to prioritize strings with the highest generation deficit.
Match cleaning tasks to available robots ensuring adequate charge to return to base docks.
Generate a dispatch matrix for the robotic fleet supervisory controller.
Fleet management dashboard displaying robot state-of-charge, string soiling levels, and active cleaning dispatch matrices.
Generate synthetic string telemetry and robot battery data, representing simplified synthetic app records rather than official schema files. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
PVLib solar modeling Uses pvlib to model string generation deficits due to soiling, identifying high-priority tasks for the robotic fleet.
mastra-ai, pvlib, fastapi. Mastra AI provides workflow orchestration to match robot state-of-charge constraints with dynamic solar performance models. Local or hosted LLM with strong JSON array generation for robotic task assignments.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Calculates generation deficit for each string using pvlib to rank priority.
Verifies selected robots have sufficient battery state-of-charge for assigned strings plus return transit.
Produces a formatted JSON dispatch matrix assigning tasks to capable robots and flags unserviced strings.
