SOLAR S1 – SPARES BEFORE YEAR ONE

17 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50

How much critical solar equipment should owners secure before COD to avoid early-life downtime caused by supplier lead times and warranty delays?

How much solar spares should you secure before COD—and what is better left to suppliers? With long lead times, warranty uncertainty and increasing OEM concentration, getting this wrong can create avoidable downtime early in the asset’s life. Join fellow solar asset owners to compare how they plan spares before year one.

Is this your cup of tea?

Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?

  • Which components are owners now treating as critical spares before COD—and which are still left to suppliers?

  • How are owners sizing spare inventories when early failure rates remain uncertain?

  • Where do warranty commitments provide real protection, and where do they fail in practice?

  • How are owners balancing spare stock costs against the financial risk of early downtime?

  • What procurement strategies are proving most effective when OEM lead times suddenly increase?

Joining this discussion with identical peers from other Solar owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
