Customer ServiceSolar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been known to lose efficiency and productivity over time if not properly and adequately operated and maintained. In other words, in order to run successfully over time, solar PV systems require regular maintenance, necessitating the implementation of mechanisms to effectively monitor and manage these systems.
In literature, three general maintenance strategies for solar PV systems are mentioned: corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Fig. 8 shows the evolution of maintenance strategies over time, along with examples of maintenance activities for PV systems. Fig. 8. Evolution of maintenance strategies.
However, following this approach often leads to unexpected failures, production losses, higher costs, and compromised power quality . Consistent management and maintenance of large-scale solar power plants are crucial to ensure grid stability, which goes beyond individual solar arrays.
Therefore, maintenance management is essential for reliable and effective operation of PV power plants, ensuring uninterrupted system operation and minimizing downtime. Compared to well-established technologies such as hydro, thermal, and wind, the O&M processes for PV systems are not yet fully structured in many operating companies .
