To highlight accomplishments in the solar industry, avail stakeholders of quality performance benchmarks and encourage adoption of data best practices, kWh Analytics partnered with the Solar Finance Council to present the industry’s first “Asset League Tables” report.
Drawing from kWh Analytics’ data repository, this report includes an overview of solar project performance, performance benchmarks and an alphabetized list of the industry’s top performing solar projects at both the national and regional levels.
“Investors, developers, operators, and other stakeholders require quality performance metrics to benchmark their projects and portfolios,” said Jason Kaminsky, COO of kWh Analytics. “Drawing from our data repository and risk management experience, we created this report to celebrate our industry’s wins and share insights that can help guide our industry forward. These awardees have demonstrated operational excellence and investment acumen, setting the standard for the rest of the industry.”
“The solar industry has grown tremendously, and our understanding of asset performance must grow as well,” said Mike Mendelsohn, Executive Director of the newly formed Solar Finance Council. “In partnering with kWh Analytics on this project, we see an opportunity to leverage kWh Analytics’ valuable risk management tools that are trusted by investors and insurers alike. This report provides investors critical insight on solar technology performance and can help lower the cost of capital for the broad solar sector.”
The Asset League Tables will be refreshed later this year to reflect updated data. While the companies make the best efforts to include all assets in its evaluation for inclusion in the Asset League Tables, there are projects for which they have incomplete data or are missing data altogether. To ensure all projects are provided an opportunity for inclusion in the Asset League Tables, sponsors are encouraged to submit projects with 2017 production data for evaluation.
As an additional incentive, all sponsors that submit projects for review will be provided more detailed benchmarking against the entire, anonymized data set. Only the top performing assets will be highlighted in the next revision of the Asset League Tables.
From now until July 2nd, sponsors should contact leaguetables@kwhanalytics.com in order to: 1. Verify that the kWh Analytics’ data record of their assets is accurate and complete, or 2. Submit performance data for review and inclusion in the updated Asset League Tables.
