Webinar: How can IPPs increase solar portfolio revenue by 4% without disrupting existing tools?

What operational challenges do IPPs face when scaling solar portfolios?

If you’re scaling up your energy portfolio, you know the struggle:

• Operational complexity increases exponentially, as sites, vendors and data sources multiply‍
• Alarm overload and manual triage consume your team’s time, slowing down decision-making‍
• Fragmented or inconsistent data streams across SCADA, IoT, ERP, and BI systems reduce portfolio-wide visibility, limiting reliable cross-site analyses‍
• DC string- or inverter-level losses are going unnoticed, silently eroding energy yield
• Operations teams spend more time reconciling data than optimizing asset performance

Even with traditional monitoring in place, these inefficiencies often remain hidden. Over time small undetected losses accumulate across assets and can translate into millions of lost revenue at portfolio scale.

Why do solar portfolios underperform despite being closely monitored?

With dashboards in place, alarms configured, and performance reports reviewed regularly, most portfolios appear to be under control. However, traditional performance management is often reactive rather than proactive. Operators monitor dashboards, respond to alarms, and address issues only after production has already been impacted.

While this reactive model may seem sufficient, it often misses deeper operational issues. Without a holistic, data-driven approach to detect, prioritize, and monetize hidden losses, revenue gaps remain invisible and unaddressed.

3 best practices to optimize solar performance and increase revenue

To address these challenges our recent webinar, “How to unlock 4% more revenue in solar portfolios, without disrupting your existing tools,” presents 3 proven strategies used by leading IPPs and O&M providers. These best practices help to improve revenue, streamline operations, and make smarter decisions, while preserving existing data infrastructure.

Here is a high-level preview of the 3 strategies covered in the webinar:

1. Building an open-data architecture to future-proof solar portfolio

Open-data architecture enhances flexibility and future-proofs your data ecosystem, without creating vendor lock-in. In this first part, we explain:

• Why retaining full control over your data is critical as portfolios scale
• How open-data APM improves interoperability across SCADA, IoT, ERP, and BI systems
• A real-world example of an IPP integrating an API-first APM solution with zero downtime

2. Leveraging automation & advanced analytics to scale operations efficiently

Scaling a portfolio does not have to mean scaling headcount at the same rate. In this second part of the webinar, we explain how automation reduces manual workload and alarm fatigue, while preserving custom workflows and operational control.

Then we dive into how physics-based digital twins provide transparency that black-box AI models often lack.

Eventually we show how a 2 GW IPP successfully doubled its operational scale without increasing control room teams — a practical example of automation done right.

“Automation isn't about reducing human input. It's about multiplying the impact of human expertise.”

3. Systematically quantifying hidden underperformance

When relying solely on SCADA, Excel, or Python-based analysis, many performance gaps remain invisible. The third strategy introduces a structured way to detect, prioritize, and monetize these hidden losses. In this section, we break down:

• Why traditional monitoring tools can miss critical DC- and inverter-level losses
• The ROI model leading IPPs and O&Ms use to prioritize high-impact interventions
• A real-world case where an IPP unlocked 4% additional revenue using a structured value-creation matrix
