Top tips (reverse tip-top) to narrow your LCOE – from an operations perspective

I’d like to open a practical discussion focused on what truly reduces LCOE over the lifetime of a solar asset. No buzzwords. No glossy presentations. Just the operational decisions that consistently make or break performance.

The logic is simple: the more optimized your production costs are, the stronger your IRR.

Revenue strategy and trading merit a separate topic. Here, I’m interested specifically in the operational layer:

Where do we gain the most efficiency?

Where do we silently lose it?

And maybe the more uncomfortable truths:

Where do EPC shortcuts cost you for the next 25 years?

What does “bankable performance ratio” even mean in practice?

Which suppliers survive the warranty period and which… don't.

I’m looking to gather what actually works in the field, across regions, climates, EPC models, and asset sizes.

So, from your experience:

What are the concrete practices that consistently reduce LCOE?And where do operators commonly leave money on the table?

Let’s go real :)
