OVERVIEW
The reliable and economic operation and maintenance (O&M) of solar Photovoltaic (PV) assets over the project lifetime is often overlooked yet has proven to be a critical concern for site owners, developers, and investors. The wrong decision can lead to lost generation that will reduce the project’s profitability for site owners and shareholders.
There are many important considerations when selecting an O&M provider for your PV project. It should be no surprise that every potential O&M provider will promise improved energy system performance and meet return on investment expectations. Dig deeper. Ask questions about “how” the potential O&M service provider will deliver on those promises, such as cutting edge remote monitoring and diagnostics, response times during an emergency, in-house technical support to quickly identify and solve emerging problems, and the experience of the project team.
