Solar Asset Management 2.0: Meeting O&M Challenges and Maximizing Performance, Oct 26, 11 am PST/ 2 pm EST, Webinar
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.
