Canonical field reference

inverter_output_kw

Inverter AC output power. Kept separate from active_power_kw because on a site with both an inverter and a revenue meter the two are different measurements of different things, and collapsing them makes inverter efficiency uncomputable.

Vendor tag table

How 6 vendors spell inverter_output_kw

Each of these is a real tag as the device or controller emits it, taken from the Forge mapping corpus. This is the table that does not exist anywhere else — the reason cross-vendor telemetry is hard is visible in a single column.

Every row above is an exact match — a deterministic pack entry or a confirmed corpus mapping — so all of them carry confidence 1.00. That is not a rounding: these are the two exact-match layers, and a tag that resolves here never reaches the embedding or LLM layers. Mappings resolved by the LLM layer do carry sub-1.0 confidence, but those are per-tenant and are not published here.


Unit contract

What Forge guarantees about the value

The canonical field is not just a name. It is a contract about units, sign convention and plausible range, enforced on the way in and re-checked at read time.

Normalization

Raw tag in, canonical field out

# Fronius emits its own spelling; Forge returns the canonical field
curl -s -X POST https://forge.foundrynet.io/v1/normalize \

No mapping table to maintain, and no per-vendor branch in your code. The same request shape works for every OEM in the table above.
