Operations & Maintenance (O&M) for PV plants

While operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants are critical to ensuring optimal performance, longevity, and profitability, many operators struggle to maintain a structured and leveraged budget structures to maintain the necessary investments to short- and long-term O&M practices.

Panel Cleaning	Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can reduce solar panel efficiency by blocking sunlight.
Inverter Maintenance	Inverters convert DC to AC electricity and are prone to wear and tear due to thermal cycling and continuous operation.
Monitoring and Performance Analysis	Continuous monitoring helps detect performance issues, such as underperforming modules or energy losses.
Structural Maintenance	Mounting structures, tracking systems (if applicable), and foundations.
Vegetation Management	Overgrown vegetation can cast shadows on panels and obstruct sunlight.
Warranty and Compliance Management	Ensuring that warranties for panels, inverters, and other components are adhered to and properly claimed if issues arise.
Extreme Environmental Factors	Extreme weather events, such as hail, snow, or strong winds, can damage equipment.
