Problem
• 10 month period
• Allowed plant degradation: 2.1%
• Actual Plant Degradation: 8.1%
Solution
• Finding the root cause of the problem – Module degradation
• Warranty claim
Results:
• Module manufacturer agreed to the warranty claim
• Defective modules were replaced by the manufacturer with an upgraded series of modules
• Thus Plant performance increased above guaranteed contractual PR
