We develop, own, and operate solar projects that generate reliable, clean energy. Our commitment is to harness the power of the sun to create a sustainable future, providing affordable and renewable energy to communities and businesses.

The role of Solar Performance Analyst will primarily focus on analysing asset performance and calculating and reporting key performance indicators (such as availability, performance ratios, and event monitoring). Key responsibilities will include the daily monitoring of the power plants’ health, ensuring the quality of data, analysing energy and irradiance measurements, and performing other performance analysis tasks using Excel or other data analysis tools. 

The role also involves business intelligence reporting and data visualisation. The successful candidate will contribute to the creation of internal reports for decision-making and asset management, as well as external reports for asset owners and financial lenders. Strong analytical skills are essential for success in this position.

RESPONSIBILITES & DUTIES 

• Daily monitoring of plant health through SCADA systems, reviewing system-generated alarms to identify any technical issues or potential underperformance. 
• Calculation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other relevant performance metrics for the sites under your responsibility (e.g., Availability, Performance Ratio, etc.)
• Conducting data analysis to identify the root cause of issues and assess their impact on overall performance.
• Collaboration with Asset Managers and the Performance & Monitoring Team to track and resolve known issues.
• Preparation of regular performance reports that present key performance data and provide explanations for any underperformance, including details of technical issues, underperformance events, and completed maintenance work.
• Assisting in continuous improvement initiatives by developing new tools to streamline data analysis and automate reporting (such as scripts for automating manual calculations, improving data manipulation, or creating automated reports and dashboards).
• Performing any other tasks as required in the course of the role.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE 

While direct experience in solar energy generation is not absolutely essential, candidates will benefit from a basic understanding of the following:

• Fundamental principles of electricity generation.
• Key components of photovoltaic (PV) plants and their operational methods.
• Performance indicators for PV plants, such as Performance Ratio (PR) and availability.
• Basic data flows associated with SCADA and monitoring systems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite applications.
• Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel.
• High attention to detail is crucial.
• Strong written communication abilities.
• Competence in presentation and visualisation.
• Excellent organisational skills and effective time management.
• Ability to work well within a team and communicate effectively.
