As the US PV industry continues to boom, more projects are being built without a robust O&M strategy. The status quo of just ensuring the projects get constructed at the lowest price is not only unpopular but an unprofitable short sighted approach towards the life cycle of your plant.
'Contrary to popular belief, PV power plants are not maintenance free; they require a regimen of continual monitoring, periodic inspection, scheduled preventative maintenance, and service calls' EPRI Whitepaper Report
In today’s competitive market, ensuring you have an effective asset management strategy is more than just increasing your uptime it is also about gaining investor’s confidence. That is why it now key to demonstrate the long term productivity & profitability of your plant through an O&M plan that will yield a higher ROI!
