Solar performance modeling is the basis for predicting long-term financial outcomes. As the industry matures, the discrepancies between predicted and actual performance become clearer. What are the drivers of solar asset underperformance? What is currently being done to address these drivers, and where are the opportunities to improve? What actionable steps can the industry take to both improve the accuracy of predictions and mitigate solar asset underperformance? This discussion will bring together a wide range of stakeholders focused on asset performance from different perspectives.
