In the solar power installation industry, the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the number of solar power systems installed measures the total count of installations completed during a specific period. This metric provides valuable insights into the growth and demand for solar power installations.
A number of KPIs can describe solar performance using different considerations such as system capacity, modeled or real-time weather conditions, and energy output. Among industry standard KPIs, we believe EPI is the most useful for O&M and asset management teams to identify and prioritize issues and track portfolio performance.
Let's dive into the key indicators that every solar energy business should monitor closely: Solar panel efficiency: Measuring the effectiveness of solar panels in converting sunlight into usable energy.
Mapping and Geospatial Analysis: Advanced mapping techniques using KPI data allow for a comprehensive assessment of PV performance across regions, supporting tailored operations and early-stage design considerations for new PV projects.
Tracking customer satisfaction rating is important for solar power installation companies as it helps them understand if their customers are happy with the services provided. It provides opportunities for improvement, helps build customer loyalty, and can lead to referrals and positive word-of-mouth.
It is necessary to develop cooling systems, robotic systems for cleaning the surface of solar panels, and adaptive systems for different weather conditions to increase the performance of PV systems.
