Ray handles questions in plain language. These examples show the kinds of jobs Ray does well. Change the site names, groups and periods to match your portfolio.

## Morning triage

Ray can check yesterday's performance across every site before your team logs on, and post what needs attention.

- "Summarise yesterday across the portfolio. Which sites need a person today?"
- "Which sites stopped sending data in the last 24 hours?"
- "What's new since Friday that I should know about?"

## Performance vs. plan

Ray compares each site with your financial model or target yield, and separates resource (weather) from real faults.

- "How did September compare with our financial model? What's behind the gap?"
- "Which sites are below target yield this quarter, and is it weather or equipment?"
- "Show me the five worst-performing sites by performance ratio last month."

## Alarm triage by revenue risk

Not every alarm costs the same. Ray ranks open issues by what they put at risk, so the team fixes the most expensive problem first:

`Priority = (energy at risk × value per kWh + contract penalty) ÷ time to fix`

A small fault on a site with a strict availability guarantee can outrank a bigger fault that's quick to fix. Ray shows the reasoning behind each ranking, and your team makes the call.

- "Rank today's open alarms by revenue at risk."
- "Which open issues could breach an availability guarantee this month?"

## Root-cause diagnosis

Ray combines inverter readings, string and inverter comparisons, alarm history and site metadata.

- "Why is Site A underperforming since the 18th?"
- "Compare INV-03 with the other inverters on Site A over the last two weeks."
- "Is this grid downtime or plant downtime?"

## Contracts and SLAs

- "Check availability against the 98% guarantee for the storage sites in Q3."
- "Which O&M SLA response times did we miss last month?"

## Reports and updates

- "Draft the monthly investor update for the Fund II group, with a chart of energy vs. target."
- "Write a short note to the client explaining last week's outage at Site B."
- "Export daily energy for all sites in September as a CSV."

## Tips

- Name the period and the sites or group. Ray asks if anything's unclear.
- Ask follow-ups in the same thread.
- Ask "how did you get that?" whenever you want to see the evidence.
