Solar Performance Analyst

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain operational metrics, KPIs, and standardized reporting frameworks that convert SCADA, met, and plant data into actionable performance insights.
• Clean, validate, and process raw operational datasets, identifying and correcting data quality issues such as sensor errors, data gaps, and outliers.
• Transform and structure time-series and relational data into scalable formats suitable for dashboards, automated reporting, and advanced analytics workflows.
• Design, develop, and maintain reports, dashboards, and visualizations that effectively communicate plant and fleet performance to operations, engineering, asset management, and executive stakeholders.
• Partner cross-functionally with operations engineering, asset management, and site teams to develop analytical tools that identify, diagnose, and resolve system underperformance.
• Manage recurring plant and fleet performance reporting, proactively identifying trends, anomalies, degradation, and optimization opportunities.
• Perform ad hoc analyses to quantify energy production and revenue impacts associated with equipment outages, curtailment, weather variability, availability losses, and operational events.
• Support regulatory, contractual, and compliance reporting requirements through accurate data preparation, validation, and documentation.
• Utilize AVEVA PI System tools—including Asset Framework (AF), Analyses, and Event Frames—to develop real-time monitoring, calculations, and performance tracking solutions for solar assets.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.
• 6 months to 2 years of experience working with operational, industrial, or renewable energy asset data in an analytics, engineering, or performance monitoring role.
• Strong proficiency in Python for data analysis, automation, and performance modeling using large time-series datasets.
• Experience designing and maintaining dashboards and reports in Microsoft Power BI or comparable business intelligence platforms.
• Ability to clean, validate, and transform raw SCADA and telemetry data into structured datasets suitable for analytics and reporting.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical insights into actionable recommendations for cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred Requirements

• Working knowledge of SQL for querying, transforming, and managing large-scale time-series and relational data sources.
• Familiarity with utility-scale solar photovoltaic system operations and performance metrics such as availability, performance ratio (PR), capacity factor, and degradation.
• Hands-on experience with the AVEVA PI System, including development and maintenance of Asset Framework hierarchies, templates, attributes, and analyses.
