Quality time for solar PV: Part I
By Q CELLS Email
Solar systems, we’re often told, are a low maintenance source of generating electricity. ‘Stick it on your roof or in your field and forget about it’ is a commonly heard phrase in the industry. Granted, compared to wind and CSP installations – both of which are an engineer’s dream – photovoltaics is relatively ‘plug-and-play’ in its simplicity. Yet things can and do go wrong with PV, which is to be largely expected for such a nascent industry.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US, around 90% of the world’s commercial solar PV systems only became operable in the past seven years. Quite simply, the industry does not yet have an adequate amount of heuristic data to accurately estimate a PV system’s operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
