O&M. One digital twin for managing solar assets.
Manage assets, maintenance, commissioning and operational reporting through BuildNova’s GIS-based digital twin platform for solar assets, giving owners one connected view of their portfolio long after construction ends.

Manual O&M gaps between commissioning and operations
Solar plants continue to require active management long after commissioning. Yet O&M teams often inherit fragmented records, scattered inspection data and disconnected asset information, making it difficult to establish operational visibility from day one.
That leads to:
Scattered asset information
Records sit across drawings, spreadsheets and site logs.
Reactive maintenance
Work is driven by failures rather than asset history and planned schedules.
Limited spatial visibility
Little visibility into asset locations and conditions.
Inconsistent reporting
Reporting varies across sites without standardised templates or automated data pulls.
Lost commissioning data
Data that could support long-term asset performance tracking is not carried forward.
Fragmented fleet visibility
Visibility is broken up across multiple plants and assets.
The issue isn’t your O&M team. It’s the disconnected, manual process they inherit at project closeout when operating without specialised solar O&M software.
One digital twin for solar asset operations.
O&M Platform is the BuildNova AI module connecting commissioning milestones, O&M workflows, GIS-based asset management, maintenance activities and reporting in one system. O&M teams have a complete operational view from plant handover onwards.
No rebuilding asset records. No searching for commissioning data. No switching between disconnected tools. Commission. Hand over. Operate. All within BuildNova.
Core capability modules
GIS-based asset management
Visualise and manage project assets spatially through integrated GIS mapping. Track module locations, inverter positions, string layouts and substation assets on a geospatial map. Drill down from the portfolio level to individual assets with serial numbers, datasheets, warranties and maintenance history. Enables location-aware maintenance planning and faster fault localisation.
Reporting and analytics
Generate operational reports and analytics to track asset performance, maintenance activities and project insights. Automated DPRs, weekly performance summaries and maintenance completion reports pulled from site data. Configurable templates aligned with client and internal reporting requirements. Roll up performance metrics across portfolios for leadership visibility.
Centralised O&M management
Digitise ongoing operations and maintenance activities, bringing asset information and maintenance workflows into one platform. Track preventive maintenance schedules, corrective work orders, inspections and approvals. Connect maintenance tasks to specific assets with complete work history. Enables standardised O&M processes across multiple sites and teams.
Commissioning milestones tracker
Monitor commissioning progress against planned milestones. Track pre-commissioning checks, energisation readiness and performance testing completion. Real-time visibility into which systems are commissioned and which remain pending. Supports milestone-based billing and client updates.
Commissioning data continuity
Carry relevant commissioning and project data into long-term O&M operations. Preserve asset information, commissioning records and project documentation so operational teams have the context they need without rebuilding asset records.
Set up for how O&M teams work
Digital twin, not just asset lists.
Build a GIS-based digital representation of the plant, connecting assets, locations, records and maintenance history in one operational view.
Predictive maintenance, not just reactive repairs.
Use asset history and operational data through renewable asset management software to identify patterns that support earlier maintenance planning and intervention.
Automated reporting, not manual compilation.
Pull site data into configurable DPR, weekly and performance reports. Reduce manual reporting effort while maintaining consistent formats across sites.
Serialised asset tracking, not generic equipment lists.
Track individual modules, inverters and components with serial numbers, datasheets, warranties and maintenance history. Enables component-level performance analysis and warranty claims.
Operational continuity, not lost project data.
Carry relevant commissioning, design and asset information into long-term O&M operations for better asset context.
Native to BuildNova AI.
Runs within the BuildNova AI platform alongside engineering, procurement and project controls modules. O&M teams inherit complete project data instead of starting from zero.
What changes with digitised O&M workflows
One view of the asset portfolio
GIS-based digital twins connect plant, asset and operational information in one place.
Earlier maintenance intervention
Asset history and operational data help teams identify maintenance needs before failures become disruptive.
Faster fault localisation
Spatial asset visibility helps teams locate affected equipment and access relevant asset history faster.
Less manual reporting
Automated DPRs and operational reports reduce repetitive data compilation across sites.
Better fleet oversight
Owners and O&M leadership can monitor multiple plants through a connected portfolio view.
Long-term asset intelligence
Commissioning, design and asset information remains available for ongoing operational reference.
Higher operational visibility after construction
The digital twin continues to provide value throughout the O&M lifecycle, supporting informed maintenance and operational decisions.
Works with existing workflows
BuildNova AI can integrate O&M visibility with its wider engineering, procurement and project controls environment where required.
