Simplified Solar Asset Work Management and Reporting with TaskMapper

TaskMapper offers an integrated solution for managing work and reporting throughout the solar asset lifecycle.

Managing work during the construction and operation stages of solar PV power plants is complex. These stages involve multiple stakeholders, including project owners, EPC teams, independent engineers, and O&M providers, each with specific needs and responsibilities. Coordinating their activities and ensuring seamless communication can be a formidable exercise without specialized work management software.

In the construction phase, tasks like permitting, site assessment, quality control, and scheduling must be meticulously managed to avoid delays and ensure successful project delivery. During commissioning, centralized punchlists, integrated task management with workflows for sign-offs and acceptance, and access to all data and files from earlier project stages help streamline closeouts and handover processes.

The operations phase demands efficient management of periodic inspections, maintenance, and defect remediation to maximize energy production and equipment lifespan. Comprehensive work packages enabled by the TaskMapper platform provide a powerful way to digitize and manage these processes.

Enhanced Work Management with TaskMapper


TaskMapper is an all-in-one platform designed to streamline solar asset management. Its work management functionality enhances efficiency by automating and optimizing workflows, fostering real-time collaboration among diverse teams, and centralizing data access for more informed decision-making. TaskMapper's customizable views and analytics cater to the specific needs of various stakeholders. The platform simplifies documentation access, generates daily progress reports, facilitates remote operation and reporting through web and mobile interfaces, and optimizes maintenance to maximize the energy output of solar PV assets.

Key Features for Solar Asset Work Management


Effective work management with TaskMapper encompasses a range of tools and features:

Maps: Work progress tracking is simplified by allowing tasks and observations to be added directly to a digital map of the site. The platform’s GIS-powered interface links activities to equipment and locations, reducing orientation time for field technicians and enabling on-site navigation, information access, and field updates.

Visualize site data on a GIS-based app interface that integrates data from drone scans, geo-spatial surveys, CAD files, and other sources

Tasks: Digitized custom or template-based tasks help streamline activity management. Users can customize task details, add sub-tasks, checklists, and files, and track progress in real-time. The in-line chat functionality built into each task facilitates contextual conversations between office and site teams for timely information sharing and status tracking. In addition to the kanban view of tasks, the timeline view can be used to group tasks by status, category, priority, and assignee to assess project progress. The calendar view helps schedule tasks by day, week, and month. 

Templates: Tasks and forms can be saved as templates for reuse, saving time and promoting process standardization. Templates can be categorized, shared, and pre-assigned to teams for tasks.

Checklists: Embedded forms and checklists within tasks provide comprehensive information, enhancing task clarity and consistency. Pre-built checklists expedite compliance inspections and quality audits.

Easy work management and monitoring by creating custom or templatized tasks, assigning them, and tracking status in one placeatized tasks, assigning, and tracking in one place

Dashboards: Customizable dashboards offer easy tracking of real-time project metrics, including overdue tasks, critical tasks, and status. Dashboards can be configured for various stakeholders and easily shared for status updates.

Track your most important data in one place with custom dashboards for reports and analytics

Mobile App: A fieldworker-friendly mobile app allows for easy access to task lists, on-site navigation, and updates. Built-in contextual chat supports efficient field team management through real-time information sharing. The app works offline as well and syncs when connected, ensuring no data is missed.

Stakeholder Benefits in Using TaskMapper for Work Management


TaskMapper centralizes work management, providing a single source of truth to track work progress, enhance quality control and collaboration, and get alerted to potential issues for informed decision-making. It ensures comprehensive task management, streamlined project management, expedited defect management, detailed knowledge without site visits, effective reporting and analytics, and more, for in-depth operations visibility.

Comprehensive Task Management: TaskMapper expedites fieldwork with map-based tasks, embedded forms, and contextual collaboration. It supports checklists, sub-tasks, and the addition of media and files for each task, ensuring all team members have access to essential information. Customizable workflows help automate processes and streamline operations. Real-time alerts and escalations facilitate effective communication and quick responses.

Easy Progress Tracking: TaskMapper simplifies progress tracking with GIS-powered task overlays on site maps, enabling real-time data capture, daily task views, site navigation, and seamless coordination among field technicians and office teams.

Streamlined Project Management: Users can upload and share project schedules from their existing project management systems (PMS), improving schedule visibility and task management. The platform integrates geospatial reports, plans, drone sensor data, and SCADA reports, enhancing data access and decision-making.

Accelerated Defect Management: TaskMapper optimizes asset performance by using Al and ML to identify, classify, prioritize and geolocate defects from aerial scan data. These defects-on-a-map can be easily assigned as tasks, expediting remediation through contextual collaboration.

Centralized Data Management: TaskMapper offers a centralized repository for all project data, ensuring easy access for all team members and creating a single source for asset data.

Enhanced Collaboration: The platform supports issue reporting and data capture through an integrated mobile app, while alerts and notifications can be configured for critical tasks and processes. Teams can collaborate in context, no matter where they are located.

Improved Build Quality: TaskMapper simplifies processes like change requests and RFIs by digitizing inspection processes, providing real-time information,  streamlining reporting, and empowering teams to improve installation quality.

Effective Reporting and Analytics: TaskMapper provides scheduled or on-demand reports, offering control and visibility over project data. Dashboards allow users to view critical data in one place, including aerial scan data, field updates, schedule milestones, and more. Reports can be easily exported into .PDF and .CSV formats for sharing and analysis.

Overall, TaskMapper offers an integrated solution for managing work and reporting throughout the solar asset lifecycle. Its diverse set of tools and features simplify work management, promote efficient collaboration, and enhance decision-making, ultimately contributing to the success of solar PV power plants. TaskMapper streamlines the complex processes involved in solar asset management, ensuring that projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with the highest quality.
