Benchmarking Solar's Performance Gap: Insights from 193GW of Analysis
The global solar industry has surpassed 2 terawatts of installed capacity—but asset performance isn’t keeping pace. Over the past 5 years, equipment-driven underperformance increased by 214%, translating to potentially US$10 billion of unrealized revenue for the industry in 2024. Raptor Maps’ 2025 Global Solar Report provides an unprecedented look into the state of solar performance across 193 GWdc of utility-scale and C&I assets. For owners and operators, the message is clear but unsurprising: asset management and operational excellence are two defining levers for profitability.
In this report, you’ll learn:
- How performance varies across the industry: Benchmarks by market, asset capacity, and module technology
- What’s driving power loss: A detailed look at drivers of power capacity loss, including weather-related risk exposure by U.S. power market
- How market dynamics contextualize solar performance: Analysis and research on how solar tailwinds that motivate capacity growth have impacted operations and labor
- How leaders are responding: New technologies for remote monitoring and resource optimization, including automation and robotics
- Why precision intelligence matters: A breakdown of issues most impactful to site health and how best-in-class owners and operators approach increasingly complex needs for asset management
- What’s next for solar: Smarter workflows, targeted interventions, and evolving methods for troubleshooting & monitoring
