A solar plant once installed is good for 25 years, but that is only possible if it is maintained properly and regularly. These plants have systems with complex technologies which need regular checkups so that they can function efficiently. Thus, regular maintenance is key to the prolonged productivity of any plant. Common issues that occur in maintenance of solar PV technology: 1. Natural degradation of the device 2. Changes in grounding for lightning protection 3. Cracking of panels 4. Generation of hotspot on panels 5. Inverter failure 6. Plantation/weed growth near panes 7. Soiling due to harsh winds These problems are recurring and can be tackled only by regular maintenance. The O&M team sets an action plan to prevent device failure. Processes involved in solar panel maintenance: ● Modu...
