Partnering for Project Performance: Your Assets, Our Owner’s Mindset

At BayWa r.e., our Operations Services team is dedicated to maximizing the performance of third-party renewable energy assets across solar, battery storage, and wind. Drawing on our experience as an asset owner, we bring unique insight into the challenges you face, from maintaining efficiency and reliability to protecting long-term returns.

Expanding into O&M services was a natural step for BayWa r.e., built on years of hands-on experience and a proven, results-driven approach. From contract negotiations to daily operations, our team works with you as a true partner, ensuring every decision is aligned with your goals and not just industry standards. 

Status of the Solar O&M Business Sector Today

While demonstrating your company’s capabilities through checklists, policies, and experience is essential, the true priority for an O&M provider is ensuring energy production reaches the grid, ultimately generating revenue. The focus should be on maximizing equipment availability to deliver consistent kilowatt output.

A May 3, 2023, report from PV Magazine highlighted research by kWh Analytics, a climate insurance and renewable energy risk management firm, revealing that solar assets are underperforming by an average of 8%.

Projects built after 2015 have generated 7% to 13% less electricity than P50 production estimates.

Additionally, drone inspection and imaging provider Raptor Maps estimated $82 million in annual losses across the 24.5 GW of assets it inspected in 2022, equating to an average loss of $3,350 per megawatt.
