Operation and maintenance

Photovoltaic panels can experience damage over their lifetime, leading to a significant reduction in their performance. Even a single panel can notably reduce the total energy output of the installation. For this reason, it is important to conduct regular checks and performance measurements of photovoltaic panels to identify and address any problems promptly and optimize energy production. Even when photovoltaic panels are covered by a guarantee, it is necessary to check their performance to fully utilize the guarantee if needed.

Potential problems that photovoltaic panels can present:

Broken or damaged cells
Electrochemical corrosion (oxidation)
Grounding and insulation faults
Localized arcing or sparks
Damaged terminals
Faulty diodes
Cracks and fractures in the panel
Gradual performance reduction due to the PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect

What AENAOS can do:

AENAOS offers a comprehensive performance evaluation of photovoltaic panels, which includes thermographic measurements to compare the current performance with the panels' original specifications. We also conduct a complete technical audit of the entire photovoltaic installation.

Upon completion of the audit, we provide a detailed technical report outlining all performed tasks, identified issues, and proposed solutions. All measurements are taken with certified instruments, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the results.

AENAOS also provides full operation and maintenance services for photovoltaic installations, including:

Continuous, 24/7 monitoring of the photovoltaic plant
Ongoing surveillance and analysis of the photovoltaic system's performance
Use of thermal cameras to detect hot or cold spots in the PV panels, identifying potential efficiency losses
Re-powering equipment to optimize efficiency
Preventive maintenance and technical inspections of electromechanical equipment
Fault diagnosis and repair, with immediate intervention within 36 hours of a fault
Monthly performance reports of the station
Monitoring of the I-V curve and treatment of the PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect
Compilation of a detailed report upon completion of all operations

AENAOS offers annual inspections of photovoltaic installations, handling the repair and resolution of any issues. All of the above services are available for both residential and commercial photovoltaic systems, as well as photovoltaic parks, throughout Greece.

Why Choose Our Operation and Maintenance Services?

It is a cost-effective option because the investment pays off in a short period of time. In addition, the owner recovers the warranties of the photovoltaic panels that may have been lost in previous years. At the same time, the owner has the option of selling the old panels, ensuring a double financial benefit.

Repowering - replacement of equipment

Over time, the efficiency of photovoltaic panels declines by about 1% per year. Usually, the real decrease in efficiency is even greater due to the deterioration of some panels caused by factors such as the PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect and small cracks caused by adverse weather conditions.

What is the optimal time to replace the panels in a PV farm?

The replacement time depends on many factors, such as the fixed energy sale price, the type of PV farm, and the rate of power output reduction.

What are the benefits of replacing photovoltaic panels?

Replacing the panels in a photovoltaic park can provide significant advantages, both financially and technically, such as:

Increased Power Efficiency: New panels incorporate the latest technological advances, offering higher efficiency to maximize your profits from the energy produced.
Optimized Energy Utilization: Modern panels are manufactured with high-quality materials, ensuring longer lifespans and better resistance to weather conditions.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: With new panels, you'll experience fewer breakdowns and lower maintenance requirements, ultimately reducing your operating costs.
Improved Warranties: Unlike older panels, which often had limited or no warranties, new panels come with extended coverage for breakdowns and performance issues, providing peace of mind.
Faster Return on Investment: New panels deliver improved performance and a reduced cost of ownership, ensuring a quicker return on investment due to increased productivity and lower maintenance costs.
Opportunity to Sell Old Panels: You can sell your old panels, generating additional revenue to help offset the cost of replacement.
Enhanced Wind Resistance and Reduced Need for Trackers: New panels feature a smaller surface area, reducing wind resistance and minimizing the need for additional tracking systems.
Tax-Deductible Expenses: The cost of replacing panels is tax-deductible, offering additional financial benefits.
