Topic: Shedding Light on Solar Underperformance 

Moderator: Michael Eyman, Managing Director, Origis Services   

Guest: Rhone Resch, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Solarlytics

In Episode 22 of Power Players by Origis®, host Michael Eyman discusses some of the causes of solar asset underperformance and how to address it with Rhone Resch, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Solarlytics.  

During their conversation, Resch and Eyman discussed some of the causes of solar asset underperformance and how to address it.  

Three key takeaways:   

1. Owners, especially those of older assets, are concerned about underperformance at the DC level, which can be caused by string imbalance, voltage collapse or lack of data. 
2. Underperformance is costing the solar industry billions of dollars in unrealized production, and reputational harm when investors do not realize promised project ROI.  
3. The tech solutions required to mitigate underperformance are rarely accounted for in a typical O&M contract but should be to maximize asset performance.
