The importance of maintenance in PV systems has garnered significant interest, prompting research and initiatives from various institutions to establish “best practices” for the O&M of PV systems .
It has been analyzed how at present, the greatest advances in photovoltaic systems are focused on improved designs of photovoltaic systems, as well as optimal operation and maintenance, being these the key points of PV systems research. Regarding the PV system design, it has been analyzed the critical components and the design of systems.
The definition of the PV system to be maintained shall include PV modules, the support structure, disconnects, inverter(s), monitoring equipment, and all other appurtenances to make the PV system complete, grid- connected, and operational. 104
In literature, three general maintenance strategies for solar PV systems are mentioned: corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Fig. 8 shows the evolution of maintenance strategies over time, along with examples of maintenance activities for PV systems. Fig. 8. Evolution of maintenance strategies.
The expansion of photovoltaic systems emphasizes the crucial requirement for effective operations and maintenance, drawing insights from advanced maintenance approaches evident in the wind industry. This review systematically explores the existing literature on the management of photovoltaic operation and maintenance.
1 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.
