Solar Array Credit Scoring
Grid-tied solar installations that earn revenue through net metering and grid buyback credits. SKOOR scores arrays by energy production, efficiency trend, grid reliability, and maintenance compliance.
Economics
Revenue and expenses
Revenue
Grid buyback credits, net metering, solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs), and demand response participation.
Expenses
Panel cleaning, inverter replacement (every 10-15 years), wiring maintenance, monitoring systems, and insurance.
Scoring factors
How solar arrays are scored
kWh Produced
Total energy production relative to rated capacity. Arrays consistently producing near peak efficiency score highest.
Efficiency Trend
Production efficiency over time. Degradation rates below industry average (0.5%/year) improve score. Sudden drops flag potential issues.
Grid Reliability
Consistent power delivery to the grid. Frequency of grid disconnections, inverter faults, and power quality issues.
Revenue Consistency
Monthly revenue from net metering credits and grid buyback. Consistent revenue streams demonstrate financial reliability.
Maintenance Record
Panel cleaning, inverter replacements, and wiring inspections completed on schedule. Proactive maintenance improves score.
Permit Compliance
Interconnection agreements, utility permits, and local building code compliance. Active and current documentation required.
Use case
Commercial solar portfolio
A solar developer manages 50 commercial rooftop installations. Each array has its own SKOOR score based on production efficiency, revenue consistency, and maintenance compliance. Investors use aggregate portfolio scores to evaluate asset quality. Underperforming arrays are flagged for inspection before revenue degrades further.
