Solar plant operations & maintenance (O&M)
A solar plant runs for decades. Our job is to make sure that, year after year, it produces what the financial model expected.
What O&M includes
- Remote monitoring and alarm management
- Preventive maintenance of modules, inverters and trackers
- Corrective maintenance and spare-parts management
- Module cleaning and vegetation control
- Thermographic inspections and I-V curve tracing
- Performance ratio (PR) and availability analysis
- Regular reports for owners and investors
- Warranty management with manufacturers

Frequently asked questions
What is the performance ratio (PR)?
The ratio between the energy a plant produces and the energy it could produce under the actual irradiation on site. It is the main indicator for spotting losses from soiling, faults, shading or degradation.
Do you maintain plants you did not build?
Yes. We start with a technical audit to understand the plant's condition and define the maintenance plan.
How often should modules be cleaned?
It depends on dust, rainfall and module tilt. We set the frequency from production data, so every cleaning pays for itself in recovered energy.
Got land, a project or an energy bill to bring down?
Tell us the essentials. We'll reply with a first technical read of the potential and the next steps.
