Solar Asset Optimization - Presented by Infocast

Maximize Your Portfolio Performance, Financial Returns, and Valuations in the New Solar Era

The total market for megawatt-scale O&M and asset management is expected to surpass 390 GW by 2020. As the installed base of long-lived solar assets continues to grow, O&M has become even more important in maximizing system performance and long-term profitability. Investors, banks and asset owners are increasingly focused on the risks and performance of assets, and requiring detailed O&M data in order to assess project risks, profitability and valuation.
Investors and O&M providers alike are turning their attention to finding best strategies for ongoing management of PV installations, both financially (asset management) and technically (operations & maintenance). Only those with an in-depth understanding of business and technical challenges facing O&M and asset management industry will be able to effectively position themselves in this rapidly growing market.
Attend Infocast’s Solar Asset Optimization to explore strategies to optimize the performance, financial returns, and valuation of renewable energy assets portfolios. From new ownership strategies to due diligence of a project for acquisition, ownership and operation; and risk mitigation, this event is the perfect opportunity to learn best practices and apply lessons learned to ensuring and enhancing the returns of portfolio of solar assets. Also, explore the latest efforts and developments to meet the challenges of operating and maintaining its expanding asset base.
PLUS Infocast’s Solar Asset Optimization Technology Workshop will lay out the technological and operational models needed to help asset owners reduce costs, increase energy output and ultimately increase financial performance. Through communication with operations and maintenance professionals, asset managers and owners can learn ways to maximize their investment through better management of assets.

Viasys

Website

Solar plants are soft targets for copper and module thieves because there’s little risk of electrocution removing cables at night when they are not energized by the sun. Viasys Solar Secure is a security partner for solar developers, operators, and investors seeking plant protection and peace of mind from system downtime and the expensive repairs caused by theft and vandalism. Viasys Video Alarm system infrastructure creates an electronic fence around a solar plant, sending video alarm images only when a breech attempt occurs. The heart of the concept is an advanced video analysis software, which identifies intruders against a dynamic outdoor environment providing actionable intelligence, situational awareness, and early warning before any damage is done.
