WebinarSolar Asset Management 2.0: Meeting O&M Challenges and Maximizing PerformanceOctober 26, 201711 am PDT/ 2 pm EDT60 mins Register for WebinarEnsuring Healthy PV Projects through Asset ManagementJoin us to examine how asset owners can make smart decisions to protect their PV system from down-the-road damages that are normally unnoticeable at commissioning. We will dive deep into comparing actual challenges in operations and performance management within utility solar portfolios. The speakers will highlight strategies during project construction and operations to maximize performance by paying attention to — seemingly undetectable — system health signals.The audience will learn: Resource needs throughout project delivery and how it affects ultimate performance and operations phases of a solar asset. How to assess the role for 3rd party support in asset management and O&M for utility portfolios.Stakeholder strategies that help to lower long-term project risks and increase asset value.
