Operations and Maintenance Planning for Solar Energy Systems
Discover strategies for efficient operations and maintenance planning in solar energy projects led by project managers using DataCalculus insights.
The operation and maintenance of a solar PV power plant are crucial for its efficient and reliable performance. This process encompasses the main functions of monitoring, inspecting, cleaning, and repairing the various components of the power plant.
Maintenance is usually carried out on-site by specialised technicians or subcontractors, in close coordination with the Operations team's analyses. In modern solar PV power plants, automation of maintenance tasks is becoming more prevalent. However, this practice is still developing and is not widespread currently.
Operations concerns remote monitoring, supervision, control of the solar PV power plant, and technical performance optimisation. It also involves subcontracting and coordination of maintenance activities.
The proactive maintenance approach in solar PV power plant operation and maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of the plant. By identifying and addressing potential issues before they escalate, the maintenance team prevents major failures that could result in long periods of downtime.
