What’s Missing From Your Preventative Maintenance Plan?

Keeping anything in good working order requires a preventative maintenance plan that has been put and place and action items being performed on a regularly scheduled basis. That certainly holds true in the case of solar asset operation and maintenance (O&M). It’s a fact that solar photovoltaic (PV) performance is increased when an O&M service provider follows a carefully developed solar preventative maintenance program that has been tailored to the needs of the particular asset.

Fail to Plan – Plan to Fail

Heading off performance issues through a proactive preventative maintenance plan (PM) is key to achieving maximum return on investment (ROI) from a solar power plant. Included in a complete solar O&M solution should be a Quality Assurance Plan, a Quality Control Project Plan, and an on-site Corporate Safety Program. With these three things in place, customer satisfaction and ROI are met, if not exceeded.

As more and more utility scale solar installations come online, the need for better solar asset management and analytics tools for managing diverse solar PV portfolios grows.
In the United States, distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) has seen unprecedented growth with the cumulative capacity now surpassing 15 gigawatts (GW). Previously, the focus has been on building projects. Now, that undertaking shares the limelight with operations and maintenance (O&M) due to the maturation of the industry and its equipment.
Skilled O&M of solar assets takes sophisticated management and analytics software along with the ability to diagnosis issues remotely saving on costs of dispatching trucks and engineering fees. Without the right tools, plans and experience in solar asset management, O&M costs go up and energy yield goes down.
