Famous management expert and author Peter Drucker said “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.” Too many commercial solar owners, and those in renewable energy arrangements, aren’t doing either. The cost of ineffective, or absent, management of these systems can easily add up and total in the thousands, tens of thousands, and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in lost revenue and savings.
While solar is highly reliable and durable relative to so many other technologies, it isn’t flawless. Equipment can malfunction and will degrade, there can be interruptions from weather and animals/pests, equipment resets will often be required, inverters may require preventative maintenance or repair, communication devices can fail and grid/site disruptions can also derail solar performance. These are just some of the factors that can negatively impact solar results and ultimately financial returns.
Suntility is dedicated to helping system owners face their most challenging issues and is driving solid outperformance. In a recent study of commercial and utility-scale systems in Massachusetts, solar installations monitored by Suntility professionals performed 6.5% better than those without Suntility’s dedicated monitoring services. Think of what that could mean financially for your system.
Furthermore the revenue streams that these systems produce are also subject to additional administrative processes that are manual and where errors are commonly found including: the allocation of net metering credits by the utilities; as well as with the brokerage of SRECs. Having an industry leading team overseeing these aspects of your project is a must and just as important as the actual solar production itself.
