The challenge

Routine maintenance at a 5 MW rooftop solar plant had been postponed. Generation fell below the expected level, and the shortfall became visible through its effect on revenue. The owner needed to understand the loss and define the maintenance response.

Our approach

  • Compared actual generation with expected generation for the review period.
  • Traced the shortfall to maintenance items that had been deferred.
  • Defined the maintenance and monitoring needed to recover and protect yield.

The outcome

The review identified approximately ₹12.3 lakhs in potential revenue lost to deferred maintenance. It also established a clear maintenance plan to address the causes and reduce the risk of recurring losses. The published case records the identified loss and recommended response, rather than a measured post-maintenance recovery figure.

What this means for the owner

Maintenance priorities become easier to justify when the generation shortfall is translated into its commercial effect.
