Event Description

Focusing on utility-scale projects, this webinar will synthesize learnings from utilities and other asset owners and operators. We will compare actual O&M challenges and performance monitoring practices within utility solar and solar + storage portfolios.

We will examine how utilities make asset management decisions and the considerations for these decisions. The speakers will highlight needs and/or changes in project planning and operations as a result of real-life scenarios.



The audience will learn:

Asset management and resource needs throughout project delivery and how it can affect the ultimate performance and operations phases of a solar asset.

Assessing the need for 3rd party support in asset management and O&M for solar, and solar + storage

Early stakeholder involvement to lower long-term project risks and thus increase asset value.
