The Value of Solar Operations & Maintenance (O&M)

“Solar plants are first and foremost financial assets. There are risks to overlooking that they are financial assets.” – Cedric Brehaut of SoliChamba author of the Greentech Media Research report ‘Megawatt-Scale PV Plant Operations and Maintenance’ quoted in a recent SolarPowerWorldonline.com article.

Solar is like any other investment. It has an inevitable amount of servicing and attention required to ensure it is performing properly and so that the owner of that asset is in the strongest position possible at the best value. Striking the proper balance between proactive maintenance of your solar array and light touch servicing is key to maximizing financial returns. As the initial grants, accelerated depreciation and tax credits of a system are realized the investment result is ultimately determined by the solar installation’s production. The net metering credits and solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) drive future returns, especially in Massachusetts. System down-time, surprise maintenance issues and equipment malfunctions are all counter to production. The strong combined value of SRECs and net metering credits should only focus thoughtful owners more on how well their system is producing and what they can do to ensure consistent performance. In fact that was one of the policy goals when the SREC and net metering programs were designed – to focus owners on generating as much solar energy as possible as economically as possible. That result is the goal and constant aim of Suntility as well. To learn more about how we can work with you to optimize your solar facility reach out to us for a free consultation.

Solar Maintenance & Solar Inspections From Suntility

Simply put a well maintained solar installation is a well performing solar installation. By identifying latent or hidden system issues solar installation owners can easily save tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars in electricity and SRECs by increasing system uptime and reducing avoidable expenses – the classic ‘stitch in time saves nine.’ With regular inspections and preventative maintenance the lifetime of your solar panels, inverters and supporting electrical and structural infrastructure can be increased. Considering the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars invested in your renewable energy facility regular inspections and preventative maintenance programs can maximize your existing asset at a very low cost. Working with Suntility your solar installation will receive regular point by point inspections for everything from the solar panels to where your installation ties into your existing electrical infrastructure or the utility grid. These inspections and associated reports detail areas in good condition, areas to address, and areas for further review so that you have actionable information as to the quality and status of your solar array.

Site Audits & Bill Audits are a Great Way to Start the Spring & Summer Solar & Wind Production Seasons

With the best months ahead for renewable energy production, and most specifically for solar, now is a great time to ensure your utility electricity account (NSTAR or National Grid) is in order and that your physical renewable energy facility is in good shape. Before spring is prime time to recognize any potential maintenance issues and also ensure your utility account will be providing you the best value through the peak production months ahead.

Many solar and wind projects are completed in early spring after the snow and ice has cleared. Therefore full technical audits at this time can offer a detailed picture of the workmanship of an installation and offer the peace of mind that you’ll be in the best position moving forward with your net metering credits and renewable energy certificates as well. Additionally for existing systems harsh winter weather conditions can also warrant further technical reviews. For solar and wind facilities worth millions of dollars, site audits and bill audits are both extremely cost-effective ways to help manage the significant investment you’ve made in clean energy.

Best 6 Solar Production Months Ahead – More Sunshine Means More Net Metering Credits & SRECs On The Way

The melt from New England’s deep freeze has begun and solar installation owners in Massachusetts can look forward to the 6 best months of solar production in the year starting with March.

In a start to the year characterized by nearly consistent below average temperatures and above average precipitation, systems from Cape Cod to Boston to the Metrowest area and to the Berkshires are beginning to achieve strong production. Low pitch solar installations, which are most susceptible to snow cover, have completely melted in most cases based on Suntility’s solar monitoring services. The beginning of February was especially challenging for many solar installations as cold temperatures trapped snow on solar panels and many systems almost used more energy than they produced for the first two weeks of the month.

With the snow dissipating and better weather ahead – we can hope – months like March, April and May are typically very strong for solar production. These spring months have limited tree cover (less shading), are cool (solar panels have a negative temperature coefficient which means they function better in colder weather), the sun is higher in the sky and the daylight hours are longer. For example, March historically offers 15-25% better solar production than February based on National Renewable Energy Laboratory solar data for the Northeast.

With the best months ahead it is important to have the right services in place to make sure that your solar installation is well maintained; performing at its best; and that you’re receiving the full and proper value for your net metering credits and maximizing your solar renewable energy certificate (SREC) or REC revenue streams. To learn how to make the most of the months ahead for your solar array get started with a free consultation by contacting Suntility.

Monitoring Your Renewable Energy Facility Is Key To Maximizing System Uptime

Suntility performs daily detailed tracking and analysis of your wind or solar project to ensure proper function, uptime and system cash flows

Suntility performs detailed daily tracking and analysis of your wind or solar project to ensure proper function, uptime and system cash flows

Having a professional monitor your clean energy system is an essential service function for your wind or solar facility. For example losing a few days worth of solar production can quickly cost you thousands of dollars of revenue and savings that you could have captured if only you were aware of the issue and had someone making the appropriate response. For solar a number of issues need to be monitored including: grid disruptions; system disconnections; inverter malfunctions; communication issues; and other potential issues. While the majority of solar installations have equipment, either revenue grade meters or inverters, that can generate automated alerts for problems, these alerts are very common and interpretation is important to identify issues that are real and require immediate attention. Having a solar expert to break through all the noise and focus on what matters to keep your system running as well as possible is absolutely critical. Working with Suntility you will receive daily monitoring of your wind or solar installation to provide you with the peace of mind that your system is experiencing no issues and if it is that the appropriate response will be made. Furthermore Suntility monitors your wind or solar project on holidays, vacations and weekends so that you don’t have to – after all renewable energy doesn’t take any days off. Suntility’s review also covers high wind and weather events to further ensure that storm related problems are identified as quickly as possible as well.
