An integrated O&M and asset management model for solar power

Solar Power Europe [1] developed a best practice guideline for solar operation and maintenance activities. The model considers assessment criteria to measure the performance of O&M activities. To assess the performance of the proposed improved integrated OM and AM model, a case study of a 200 MW solar plant was assessed before and after implementation.

1 MW Solar Plant in India: Cost, Generation and Incentives

In ideal conditions, a 1kW plant generates 4 units in a day. Thus, a 1000kW or 1 MW plant would generate: 4 x 1000 = 4,000 units in a day 4x 1000 x 30= 1,20,000 units in a month However, it is crucial to note that solar generation can be affected by elements like weather, the orientation of panels, the quality of equipment, location, maintenance, etc.

6 FAQs about [Solar power generation operation and maintenance fees]

Does operational and maintenance affect onshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) lifecycle costs?

What is a cost model for photovoltaic systems?

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.

How much does solar PV cost?

In sum, solar PV O&M cost decreased from an average of 47.60 EUR 2017 /kW p /a in 2005 down to 7.05 EUR 2017 /kW p /a in 2017, a remarkable reduction of 85% (Figure 4 B). Point estimates for experience rates (Figure 4 C) are between 15.7% and 18.2%, and the confidence intervals are much smaller than for onshore wind.

How much does a solar project cost?

A more recent survey saw increasing project lifetimes from just over 21 years in 2007 to almost 33 years in 2019, and leveled total lifetime operating expenses declining from an average of $35/kW/yr to $17/kW/yr. The 2019 numbers saw a broad range through, from $13 to $25/kW/yr.

How can we improve PV O&M cost estimates?

Recommendations for future work include an encouragement for system and fleet operators to share their actuarial data on operations and maintenance in order to advance the accuracy and utility of cost estimating tools. Feedback from actual costs should be carefully curated to refine future PV O&M cost estimates.

Why are operations & maintenance costs important?

Given the decline in investment costs for renewable energy technologies, other cost components have become increasingly important. In 2017, operations and maintenance (O&M) accounted for 20%–25% of lifecycle costs for wind and solar plants in Europe, but the understanding of O&M dynamics is limited.
