What’s the true cost of poor preventative maintenance in European solar?
Our latest analysis reveals a staggering opportunity for value recovery.
💥 Across Europe’s 135GW of utility-scale solar, failure to utilise structured, long-term maintenance data can result in up to 1% of avoidable degradation annually, and with it, significant financial impact.
⚡ 1.75 million MWh/year lost
💶 €87.8 million/year in revenue left on the table
📉 Over a decade: €877.5 million in direct yield loss
But that's just energy revenue. Add in:
✅ Faster, evidence‑based warranty claims
🔧 Avoided or deferred asset repowering
🧠 Smarter, efficient O&M delivery
📈 Higher asset resale value
…and the total comes to nearer €1.2 billion in potential value saved.
SolarGain by Above turns preventative maintenance data and aerial inspections into performance insights—empowering you to capture this hidden value.
Performance problems don’t start on the day they’re discovered, so neither should your data.
