Operational Challenges of Community Solar

Full Presentation

Energy & Technology - Putting it All Together

What makes us unique is the combination of our experiences: mathematical modeling, software and information technology, and energy industry experience – makes problem-solving easier, quicker and much more cost-effective.


One example of “putting it all together”:


Pricing for small-to-medium solar installations:

Today, the pricing for roof-top solar or community solar is determined using broad-brush statistics and models. We have been working on refining these models using the combination of big data, analytics, pricing algorithms and deploying those models near-real time.


We start with the consumption data on the facility. This is usually available on the web sites of utilities, and increasingly the usage information is available at 15-minute intervals. These constitute valuable information, and in combination with weather data can actually generate models that create a profile of the way energy is used in the house: electric vehicles, heated pools, air conditioners, washing machines etc. leave their own characteristic fingerprint on the usage ramp-up and ramp-down rates. Information available on web sites such as Zillow allow you to “see” the house and determine the exposure, and even trees obstructing the sun – and all of this data goes into computing the effective yield of a roof-top solar installation much more precisely.


This obviously provides some valuable benefits:


  • Provide a custom-designed price and product offering for the customer
  • Address the number one complaint among the customers today: manage expectations on savings and reliability.


That was one quick example of the multitude of skills that go into pricing and structuring and targeted marketing – all of which is possible today thanks to technology and expertise.


  • We are energy and technology experts in the areas of product development, pricing & complex rate design, data analytics & modeling and, back-office.  Let us help you put it all together as the energy provider of the future.
