Loop Services, Generation Operation Center in Curitiba, Monitors 72 Photovoltaic Plants in Brazil, Ensuring Energy Quality, Safety, and Health Through Artificial Intelligence.
Loop Services, an important entity in the energy sector, coordinates the monitoring of 72 photovoltaic plants in Brazilian territory. From the Generation Operation Center located in Curitiba, the company ensures energy quality, guaranteeing high standards of safety and integrity through the use of artificial intelligence.
The performance of the photovoltaic plant monitoring company also includes real-time asset management, a vital practice for operational efficiency. The Loop Services Generation Operation Center, belonging to Polo Group, demonstrates significant importance in this area, establishing itself as a pillar of energy asset management in Brazil. This approach integrates modernity and precision, essential for maintaining sustainability and efficiency.
Advantages for Production and Efficiency
Maximizing production and efficiency of systems is essential, but it is also vital to ensure safety, compliance with regulations, and long-term sustainability of investments in photovoltaic energy. Renato Licetti, Technical Director of Loop Services, a recognized company in the monitoring of photovoltaic plants and a leader in O&M in Brazil, emphatically affirms these points. Loop Services, dubbed one of the largest companies in Brazil in the sector, has demonstrated excellence in the service of operation and maintenance of solar plants.

Real-Time Asset Management
From its base, the Generation Operation Center (COG) in Curitiba (PR), Loop Services performs real-time management of its energy generation assets. At the COG, they manage, operate, and maintain 72 plants located in 48 municipalities across 13 Brazilian states, covering all regions of the country. Currently, 275 MWp are in operation, using approximately half a million solar modules. The 39 m² space of the COG is organized with a video wall composed of six high-resolution panels, a crucial factor for detailed monitoring.
Partnerships and Accurate Detection
Loop Services maintains strategic partnerships with companies such as Brasol, Élis, Matrix, Energea, and Helexia. Licetti explains that the COG is essential for the efficient management of assets in Brazil, allowing for immediate detection of failures and anomalies in photovoltaic systems. This significantly reduces downtime and optimizes energy production. The monitoring room plays a vital role in preventive maintenance, as the data collected can indicate when components are about to fail, enabling proactive interventions.
Constant Monitoring and Optimization
Constant monitoring of operational parameters, including voltage, current, and temperature of the solar modules, enables optimization of system performance. Furthermore, the Loop Services management center assists in risk mitigation by detecting patterns that can lead to failures, allowing for interventions before any significant damage occurs. This is particularly important for regulatory compliance, as photovoltaic plants in Brazil must adhere to strict operational and safety standards to avoid fines and sanctions.
Detailed Analysis and Decision Making
Another advantage of the COG is data collection for detailed analysis of plant performance over time. This is crucial for creating performance reports and planning expansions and strategic adjustments in the operation of the plants. Centralizing operational data in the monitoring room provides accurate information for efficient management. With constant access to updated data, managers are equipped to make more informed decisions regarding investments and improvements in operations.
Differentials and Commitment to Performance
One of the greatest differentiators of Loop Services compared to the competition is the response time to critical events. The company is committed to the Performance Ratio (PR) and the availability of equipment, ensuring that the plant generates at least 99% of what is expected in PVSyst. Licetti highlights the importance of post-operation engineering, which conducts root cause analyses to understand the origin of problems and minimize the risks of future occurrences. This demonstrates the robustness and commitment of Loop Services to energy quality.
Safety, Health, and Environment
The company also stands out for its approach to Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE). Loop Services has a specialized team for training implementation, evaluating the documentation of its 200 field employees, and conducting awareness campaigns. ‘The services of Loop Services are comprehensive, covering everything from pre to post-operation, as well as performance analysis’, explains Licetti. The company utilizes one of the best asset management software, enhancing the quality of reports and the performance of the assets.
Artificial Intelligence in Monitoring
The monitoring of the plants occurs remotely, using artificial intelligence for detailed data collection and analysis. This enables rapid detection of failures or anomalies, guiding better decision-making and anticipating potential problems. The Polo Group, of which Loop Services is a part, is constantly expanding, offering technical positions throughout the country. Since 2015, the group has distinguished itself in electrical engineering solutions and renewable energy, providing high-quality services to clients.
Expansion and Innovation
The Polo Group, with offices in strategic locations such as Curitiba, Umuarama (PR), Alphaville Barueri, São José do Rio Preto, and Araçatuba (SP), is close to customer needs, offering quick and effective solutions. In partnership with Weg and Renault, the Polo Group innovated by building a public solar recharge station in Fernando de Noronha (PE) for electric vehicle charging, standing out for its sustainable approach and electric mobility. This innovation reflects the group’s commitment to excellence in engineering and renewable energy, positively impacting the Brazilian energy sector.
