The Misawa Homes Institute of Research (Headquarters: Suginami-ku, Tokyo; President: Katsuyuki Chihara), a think tank of the Misawa Homes Group, conducts research and studies on various fields including 'disaster prevention, structure, materials, and durability technology,' 'environment and energy technology,' 'people, families, and community development,' and 'housing culture and lifestyle design.' The results of these studies are regularly published as Misawa Homes Institute of Research Reports (commonly known as M-Repo). The Misawa Homes Group develops new products and solutions based on the insights and technologies gained from these research results. ■ Key Points of this Report: ● Developed a new technology where AI automatically monitors solar panels for 'degradation' and 'malfunctions' 24/7, 365 days a year. ● Achieved weather-independent diagnosis through high-precision double-checking using 'past data' and 'theoretical values.' ● AI analyzes the causes of malfunctions from multiple perspectives and suggests specific recovery and response measures according to the situation. For details of the report, please see the attached Misawa Homes Institute of Research Report vol. 118. Previously published reports can be viewed on this page. Related web articles explaining the economic and safety risks associated with the aging of housing equipment are available in 'M-Repo Story': [What are the risks caused by 'invisible failures' in housing equipment? The latest inspection method realized by AI].
