Intelligent Maintenance Approaches for Improving Photovoltaic
As the deployment of PV systems continues to expand, the integration of intelligent predictive maintenance algorithms for solar-plus-storage systems will become increasingly vital for
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been known to lose efficiency and productivity over time if not properly and adequately operated and maintained. In other words, in order to run successfully over time, solar PV systems require regular maintenance, necessitating the implementation of mechanisms to effectively monitor and manage these systems.
The execution of regular maintenance procedures is critical in ensuring the optimal operation and durability of solar PV systems. This will also ensure its maximal performance and fasten the return on investment. By dividing these responsibilities into distinct subsections, a comprehensive strategy for system maintenance is achieved.
Solar photovoltaic system, while harnessing abundant solar energy, has operational and maintenance setbacks and requires close and constant monitoring to maintain highly effective generation of energy.
PV systems actually require very little maintenance once they are up and running. However, administering a good maintenance program will ensure safe and efficient system operation. Table 1 shows a suggested maintenance schedule. Table 1. A suggested maintenance schedule for a PV system.
