SOIP Architecture Presentation

Field-to-cloud industrial IoT for utility-scale solar — embedded edge, Azure ingestion, polyglot data, and operator experiences.

Aarvi Solar uses generic solar-industry concepts and does not contain proprietary company information.

Production Industrial IoT Architecture

End-to-end utility-scale solar path: field devices → industrial protocols → embedded edge (Yocto / Docker / IoT Edge) → Azure ingestion → processing → polyglot data → APIs → web and field applications. Safety-critical decisions stay local; the cloud receives events after local action.

Current SOIP Implementation

Honest demo / PoC stack running today

  • Simulated devices & scenario engine
  • FastAPI modular services
  • PostgreSQL operational store
  • REST APIs + WebSockets
  • Next.js operations console
  • Google Maps fleet view
  • Hybrid demo/API data adapter

Production Industrial IoT Evolution

Target architecture for physical fleets

  • Physical trackers, sensors, inverters
  • Modbus · LoRaWAN · BLE · UART · Ethernet · Cellular
  • Site gateway on embedded Linux (Yocto)
  • Docker / containerd · Azure IoT Edge modules
  • Offline store-and-forward + local safety rules
  • Azure DPS (provision) + IoT Hub (operate)
  • Event Hubs · polyglot data · staged OTA
  • Field mobile app (future production capability)

Local safety example

Safety action occurs on the edge first

  1. High wind detected at weather / wind sensor
  2. Local Rules Engine evaluates threshold on the gateway
  3. Trackers commanded to safe / stow mode immediately
  4. Event recorded locally with sequence number
  5. Alert + telemetry forwarded to cloud when linked

Offline operation

Store-and-forward with controlled reconnect

  1. Internet unavailable → edge continues local control
  2. Telemetry retained with original timestamps & sequence numbers
  3. Safe commands may queue; unsafe cloud commands wait
  4. Connectivity restored → batched upload with retry/backoff
  5. Idempotency + duplicate protection on cloud ingest
  6. Staggered reconnect to avoid reconnect storms
