The detail

What happens to what you tell us.

This note covers the Solar O&M Maturity Survey, the first instrument of the Solar Operations Maturity Institute (SOM Institute).

Model and benchmark
The SOM Institute maturity model was developed by SolrBoost. The SOM Institute benchmark — this survey, the South African cohort it builds and the industry insights it produces — is run in partnership with the University of Cape Town, TruePoint South Africa and Partnerships for Growth (P4G).
What is collected

Your answers to the survey: for each of the seven areas, how important it is to you, the level you want to reach and where you are today; and your answers about your operation (approximate site count and installed capacity, where production is lost, and an approximate monthly budget range for monitoring and analytics per site).

Your contact details, so that your report can be sent to you.
