Solar and storage portfolios rarely fail loudly. More often they lose revenue quietly: a drifting irradiance sensor, an inverter running at 80% of expected output, a communication gap that gets counted as uptime. For owners with dozens or hundreds of sites, reviewing every site by hand does not scale, and a monitoring number that looks authoritative but rests on weak data is worse than no number at all.
This webinar draws on the NextWave Energy Monitoring Performance Monitoring Operations Guide, which is anchored to international standards. The guide’s environmental measurement and sensor accuracy material covering irradiance, module temperature, calibration, and drift detection, was developed in collaboration with Kipp & Zonen, a manufacturer of solar radiation measurement instruments.
Speakers will cover what to measure, why each measurement matters, and how the quality of the sensors and data behind a system shapes every performance metric calculated from it. They will also cover interpretation: how availability and performance ratio answer different questions, how to tell real underperformance from normal weather variation, and how exception-based monitoring can help asset managers stay on top of a growing portfolio.
Attendees will receive a digital copy of the guide, a clearer picture of what trustworthy monitoring looks like, what to require from a monitoring partner, and a practical set of questions to put to any vendor.
