Course Overview

Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in distributed rooftop solar projects — it punishes it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on solar projects both accrue interest. Participants gain a realistic view of what the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline costs and what it returns. The course covers distributed rooftop solar projects at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The professional literature on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It is designed for mixed groups, so that solar projects is examined from more than one functional angle. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about distributed rooftop solar projects in their own setting. Most organisations already have a policy on solar projects; far fewer can show it working. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Define the escalation path for abnormal conditions detected in distributed rooftop solar projects.

Assign clear ownership for each element of solar projects across the functions involved.

05

Plan the handover of distributed rooftop solar projects so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.

06

Distinguish the parts of solar projects that must be standardised from those that require judgement.

07

Assess distributed rooftop solar projects against the emissions and efficiency targets the organisation has committed to.

01

Distributed rooftop solar projects: incidents, lessons and continual improvement

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The environmental exposure created by distributed rooftop solar projects

  • Identify the failure modes of distributed rooftop solar projects with the highest consequence.
  • Confirm that lessons from solar projects are shared beyond the team that learned them.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether solar projects is improving.

Session 2The operating limits on solar projects and what happens beyond them

  • Review incident and near-miss history involving distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on solar projects.
  • Record what was learned when distributed rooftop solar projects did not go as planned.
  • Review the instrumentation on solar projects for coverage gaps.
02

Solar projects: contracts, contractors and service delivery

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Escalation and decision rights in solar projects

  • Benchmark the organisation's distributed rooftop solar projects against comparable operations.
  • Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios solar projects can create.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of distributed rooftop solar projects current.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in solar projects.

Session 2Building the investment case for solar projects that finance will accept

  • Set the trigger for a life-extension versus replacement study on distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Agree the smallest change to solar projects that would be visibly useful.
  • Model the economics of distributed rooftop solar projects at low, base and high price cases.
  • Build the competence framework that supports solar projects.
03

Solar projects: process safety, permits and isolation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What the instrumentation on solar projects is and is not telling you

  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Confirm handover documentation for solar projects is complete and current.
  • Establish the boundary of distributed rooftop solar projects and record what sits outside it.
  • Review whether solar projects is aligned with the objectives of the operating asset.

Session 2Closing out distributed rooftop solar projects and capturing what was learned

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Remove steps in solar projects that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Check that the permit regime covering distributed rooftop solar projects matches the actual hazard.
  • Establish the alarm philosophy applying to solar projects and remove nuisance alarms.
04

Solar projects: integrity, inspection and condition assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The permit and isolation regime that solar projects actually requires

  • Define the safe operating envelope for distributed rooftop solar projects and how deviations are detected.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to solar projects.
  • Check that management of change is applied to every modification of distributed rooftop solar projects.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for solar projects.

Session 2Building the method for solar projects step by step

  • Verify isolation points for distributed rooftop solar projects are proven and documented.
  • Confirm contractor competence records for anyone working on solar projects.
  • Set the review interval for distributed rooftop solar projects and who attends.
  • Anticipate the objections solar projects will raise and prepare the answers.
