When solar asset managers delve into their renowned budgets to engage with a long-term O&M (Operations and Maintenance) company, the potential to enhance solar plant performance often faces challenges from the outset. Limited access to a critical supply chain of essential new parts, a contracting labor pool leading to escalating labor costs, and the impending realization that financial models may have been based on overly aggressive projections make it tempting to resort to short-term fixes.

Asset owners understand that engaging in preventative maintenance for solar projects is fundamental for effective solar asset management. This practice is essential not only for the long-term health of the system but also to uphold the corresponding asset value and ensure that critical warranties on costly equipment remain valid. However, as highlighted in the WoodMac webinar, relying solely on preventative maintenance may fall short of maximizing long-term solar plant performance and extracting the utmost value from an asset.
Corrective maintenance issues frequently surface, potentially affecting system availability. For instance, Borrego O&M oversees more than 1,000 PV sites, totaling 1.2 GW across the United States. Managing these projects, Borrego has adeptly handled 2,100 corrective O&M services required in 2021 alone. These reactive issues impacted approximately 57% of the Borrego fleet, implying that half of the project sites under Borrego’s care needed 4.2 “unplanned” services by the end of Q3-2021.
Based on Borrego’s experience, when corrective maintenance takes precedence over preventative care, there is a notable 2% increase in overall raw availability in site performance.
Various corrective O&M issues are commonly encountered while managing over 1.2 GW of large-scale solar power plants. System outages, both utility and non-utility induced, top the list. Other prevalent problems include failed termination, external damage, inverter failures requiring total replacement, and issues with breakers, fuses, or other internal components. These issues significantly contribute to decreased system production and often fall beyond the purview of most preventative maintenance packages.
