Thanks for sharing, great advice. Super important topic. We often have customers come to us for support having been burnt in the past - avoid this and do it right from the outset. Example, one customer had self-procured solar for their sites, everything seemed ok initially, then energy bills started to rise back to historic levels, this went on for months. It turned out the system was no longer working and the supplier who installed it had not been contracted for maintenance. Worse still, the supplier used was no longer in business and so there was no recourse, paperwork and background on the system. The buyer had not known what to ask for, how to qualify suppliers, methods for increasing value while avoiding bear traps or how to create a competitive environment to get the best deal. The lessons - specify what you need, run a competitive process, partner with the right supplier (one with a solid track record and financial position), protect yourself by contracting the correct performance guarantees and warranties and ensure your are covered for maintenance support. We are now supporting them to develop projects across a portfolio of facilities and ensuring they maximize value and mitigate risks.
