Operation & Maintenance
Proper operation and maintenance are essential to ensure that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems operate at peak efficiency, have a long service life, and deliver expected energy output. Regular O&M helps identify and resolve issues early, prevent downtime, and maximize return on investment.
Key Components of Solar Systems Operation & Maintenance
- Solar Panels (PV Modules)
- Inverters
- Mounting Structures
- Wiring and Electrical Components
- Energy Storage (if applicable)
Solar energy systems are generally low-maintenance, but regular maintenance is essential to keep them performing efficiently and safely over their 20–25+ year lifespan. Preventive care and inspections ensure maximum energy output and system reliability.
