According to the latest report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), “In 2020 (as of July 8), there have been 10 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States.”
“We see a gap in the industry for dedicated, specialized restoration work,” says Cliff Myers, Director of Restoration at DEPCOM. ““This is why we have assembled experts in the areas of equipment and plant reliability, insurance, and O&M to offer strategic solutions,” says Myers.
Host Solar Support will share best practices in PV equipment and plant reliability, while DEPCOM will offer strategies to boost uptime, cut costs, and maximize production. GCube Insurance Services will present claims data on natural disasters across the country and methods to streamline the claims process. And Nextracker will contribute expert analysis on the reliability impacts of wind and hail on PV systems — and the design techniques and software to minimize them.
