When an experienced site tech leaves, the next one starts from scratch.

Inverter & tracker faults
The inverter that faults at sunrise, the tracker row that stalls, and the reset that actually clears it.
Turbine checks
What to look at on each climb, the yaw problem that keeps coming back, the bolts that always work loose.
Battery checks
The container that runs warm, the alarm that's a sensor and not a real fault, the steps before anyone opens a door.
Site access
Gate directions, the road that washes out, where to park, how far the walk is.
Safety steps
Lockout points, arc flash boundaries, and what NOT to do on that site.
Parts & vendors
Which spares are on site, the vendor tech for each inverter, the warranty contact.
Ask it like you'd call the site lead.
- Record at the inverter, at the turbine base or in the truck from a phone's browser. Nothing to install.
- Each note is transcribed and filed under the equipment and the site it's about.
- Scan the QR sticker on an inverter, a turbine or a container door to see its notes or record a new one.
- Notes are tagged with the problem, cause, fix, parts, tools and warnings.
- No signal at the far end of the site? In the installed app, notes wait on the phone and upload when you're back online.
- Anyone on the team searches in plain words or asks a question, and gets the answer from your notes along with the notes it used.
Inverter 7 · Ridge solar farm
“Ridge solar farm, Inverter 7. It faults most mornings at sunrise and clears itself once the voltage settles, so give it twenty minutes before you roll a truck. If it's still faulted after that, check the AC disconnect next to it. The gate code is with the O&M office.”
Example for illustration, not a real customer's note.
