1 Introduction This report describes both mathematical derivation and the resulting software for a model to estimate operation and maintenance (O&M) costs related to photovoltaic (PV) systems. The cost model estimates annual cost by adding up many services assigned or calculated for each year.
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.
Monthly maintenance of the installed panels is recommended. To avoid these accumulations of dust it is advisable to use nano-coated material to reduce the consumption of water in the cleaning and thermal losses inside the module. All the articles presented try to improve the performance and to decrease the costs of operation and maintenance.
Private companies have the problem of establishing the implementation of maintenance structures to operate and guarantee the service of solar systems for a period of more than 10 years. Following the above, Carrasco et al. (2015) propose an innovative design tool created for rural photovoltaic electrification in Morocco.
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.
Therefore, maintenance management is essential for reliable and effective operation of PV power plants, ensuring uninterrupted system operation and minimizing downtime. Compared to well-established technologies such as hydro, thermal, and wind, the O&M processes for PV systems are not yet fully structured in many operating companies .
