Vector’s role and team involved
We involved our Portuguese team in this important collaboration, which allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of operational PV projects in Portugal and the impact of different variables, such as unexpected adverse weather conditions and operational issues that could arise in any project during their lifetime.
We are very grateful to SPower for the opportunity to collaborate with them in understanding how some of their PV Projects are operating and what has impacted their assets during the last years. It gave us further insight on all the variables that can impact the production and operation of PV Projects in Portugal. This collaboration will help us all to improve during future projects yield estimations.
We helped the client to understand the main reasons why the PV plants did not meet their expected production targets the previous year.
