Platform architecture

Embedded, site, and operational intelligence, working as one stack.

The NovaFir platform is built in three layers — device-level control and optimization, site integration across equipment and vendors, and operational intelligence with analytics and fleet support.

The three layers

One architecture, each layer optimized for its job.

NovaCore and NovaTrack handle device-level control and optimization. Atlas handles site integration. ASCEND and NovaCloud provide operational intelligence, analytics, and fleet support.

01 · EDGE

Embedded intelligence

Real-time control firmware on NovaFir hardware — local and deterministic.

  • NovaCore controllers
  • NovaTrack MPPT + optimization
  • Local protection, no cloud dependency
02 · SITE

Site integration

Atlas coordinates multiple devices, vendors, and subsystems at the site.

  • Secure device onboarding + telemetry
  • Protocol translation across vendors
  • Grid & generator coordination
03 · FLEET

Operational intelligence

ASCEND and NovaCloud for analytics, policy, and long-term performance.

  • Dashboards + policy coordination
  • Bounded-AI recommendations
  • Cross-site optimization
Security by design

Security starts at the device identity layer.

NovaFir’s architecture is designed around hardware-rooted device identity, mutual authentication, encrypted telemetry, signed firmware updates, secure boot, role-based access, and auditable operational actions.

Bounded AI

AI supports decisions, it does not own safety.

NovaFir uses AI for forecasting, anomaly detection, optimization recommendations, diagnostics, and decision support. AI does not have autonomous authority over critical, safety-affecting, or material decisions. Safety and protection logic remains local and deterministic.

Atlas connects existing sites to modern operations.

Atlas provides the site integration layer that allows ASCEND to work with legacy SCADA, customer inverters, BMS equipment, meters, hydro instrumentation, historians, and industrial protocols. That makes modernization possible before hardware replacement.

Long service life

Designed for supported operation over decades.

The commitment is not that every component lasts untouched for 25 years. It is that the platform remains serviceable and supported across that horizon.

Field-serviceable

Designed around serviceable assemblies and replacement-part availability.

Firmware + crypto-agility

Long-term firmware update paths and crypto-agility built in.

Long-lifecycle components

Component selection and support planned for the operating horizon.
