Customer Service1 Introduction This guide considers Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of photovoltaic (PV) systems with the goal of reducing the cost of O&M and increasing its effectiveness. Reported O&M costs vary widely, and a more standardized approach to planning and delivering O&M can make costs more predictable.
1 Introduction This report describes both mathematical derivation and the resulting software for a model to estimate operation and maintenance (O&M) costs related to photovoltaic (PV) systems. The cost model estimates annual cost by adding up many services assigned or calculated for each year.
Members of the Working Group have discussed these results and are currently recommending 0.5% for large systems and 1% of system initial cost per year for small systems as a reasonable expectation of PV system O&M costs. These heuristics inform an expectation of PV system O&M cost.
PV Maintenance includes the following four types of maintenance procedures: 1. Administration of Maintenance: This overlaps with “Administration of Operations” and ensures effective implementation, control, and documentation of maintenance services and results.
As it relates to the quality of the solar monitoring system, open standards are applied at four levels: 1. Device communication and plant sensor readings 2. Data collection and storage at the plant 3. Information transmission from the plant to the information data store 4. Information access to the data store from applications.
Preventive Maintenance 1 Visual inspection of Solar Facility’s general site conditions, PV arrays, electrical equipment, mounting structure, fence, shading, trackers, vegetation, animal damage, erosion, corrosion, and discolored panels.
