If solar is to gain the trust of homeowners, then it must be a dependable energy source.
Each month we measure the actual energy produced versus the estimated amounts we originally shared with our customers. We believe accurately measuring energy production is not a nice thing to do. It is a core responsibility for any ENERGY company.
We have been tracking our systems since day 1.
Here is how we are doing at the end of July 2025:
Year to date, we are slightly below our estimated production with systems reporting 96% of expected production.
For the new quarter, we are at 100.1% of target. So. Good. The. Best.
Seriously though, we missed every month in the second quarter so it was nice to see a positive number up there. Even if we had to cheat…
Year to date, the bigger picture view, is that we are tracking 96% of estimated production with seven months completed. It is not perfect. But it is pretty darn good. Take a look around and you will not see any other company sharing actual performance versus estimates given to customers during the sales process. Even the publicly traded companies like Sunrun don’t go there. We do. Monthly.
The other metric we measure monthly is run time. This simply measures whether any of our systems were not producing during the month. Run time year to date 2025 and lifetime are shown below:
For the record, when clients get new routers or cable into their homes, their solar systems will continue to work just fine. But those homes might not see their production accurately reported on their phone apps again until we reset their wifi configuration to match the new router or service provider. Nothing is lost and the ‘missing’ energy gets uploaded back to the cloud. PECO credits are also not impacted. Checking out each month’s production for every client gives us a heads up sometimes when someone has changed things up even before they notice themselves.
