What is operation & maintenance (O&M) of photovoltaic (PV) systems?

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.

How does a photovoltaic system work?

The heart of a photovoltaic system is the solar module. Many photovoltaic cells are wired together by the manufacturer to produce a solar module. When installed at a site, solar modules are wired together in series to form strings. Strings of modules are connected in parallel to form an array.

What are NREL's best practices at the end of photovoltaic system performance period?

NREL’s Best Practices at the End of the Photovoltaic System Performance Period report includes recommendations for system owners, asset managers, and industry service providers regarding the handling and disposal of waste, including reuse and recycling of PV modules and other components as a way to reduce environmental impact.

What is a user manual for pvguard SCADA?

The user manual describes the operation of the PVGuard SCADA software. The user manual describes the data validation and rectification measures carried out by the supervision platform PVGuard. The user manual describes how to create and edit Dashboards for the supervision platform PVGuard.

Where should photovoltaic modules be installed?

Be careful when installing the photovoltaic modules particularly at the corners of the racks or trackers. The lowest point of the modules height shall be enough to minimize the risks of plants and objects affecting the rear side of the modules.

Does low voltage filtering work on PV modules?

However, some newer low voltage equipment has sophisticated filtering that enables effective measurements even on circuits with PV modules.
