In a solar PV project, maintaining optimal performance over its entire life cycle is critical for stakeholders, investors, and operators. As components degrade over time and external conditions evolve, it becomes vital to perform ongoing performance assessments to identify issues and ensure compliance with Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) guarantees.
One of the key metrics in this process is the Performance Ratio (PR)—a reliable benchmark for the plant’s output quality. If the PR falls short, EPC contractors may face performance liquidated damages or delays in receiving provisional completion certificates.
At SgurrEnergy, we provide comprehensive plant performance assessment services to evaluate and improve operational efficiency.
Our approach includes:
Detailed on-site evaluation of system components
Identification of energy losses and root causes of underperformance
Verification of PR targets against contractual benchmarks
Recommendations to improve system output and reliability
Reporting to support compliance, insurance, or O&M strategy realignment
