Audit & Performance Recovery Studies
Before you sign an AMC or a cleaning contract, know what's actually wrong. Our audit compares your plant's design-baseline output against actual generation, breaks the gap down by cause, and hands you a prioritized list of fixes ranked by what pays back fastest.
From first visit to a running process
Establish the baseline
Design performance ratio and expected generation, derived from panel specification, orientation, and local irradiance data.
Measure actual generation
Actual output is compared against the baseline using existing meter data, or a short instrumented monitoring window if none exists.
Attribute the variance
The gap is broken down by cause: soiling, inverter or string faults, downtime, or grid curtailment.
Deliver the recovery plan
Each cause is matched to a fix and an expected performance-ratio uplift, sequenced by payback speed.
- Design-baseline vs. actual generation analysis
- Loss attribution by cause
- Site walk and inverter/string-level inspection
- A written, prioritized recovery plan
- Optional post-fix verification visit
- A quantified breakdown of where generation is being lost
- A prioritized, sequenced list of fixes
- A measured performance-ratio uplift once fixes are applied
- A clear answer on whether your current O&M or cleaning contract is worth renewing
One-time audit, or a recurring quarterly performance review.
Common questions on this service
A single-site audit typically runs one to two weeks from the site walk to the final report, depending on how much historical generation data is already available.
No. The audit stands on its own. Some clients use it to negotiate with their existing vendor rather than switching.
We run a short instrumented monitoring window on site to establish actuals before comparing against the design baseline.
