Proper maintenance of a solar power plant can help maximize uptime and extend the plant's lifespan. Uninterrupted solar energy supply maintains the economic value generated by each kilowatt-hour of production, and adequate service is critical to ensuring optimal performance while minimizing downtime risks. A well-maintained solar installation can operate 10% to 30% better than one that lacks maintenance. Installing solar panels is just the beginning. Without proper operation and maintenance, system components may lack the assurances of a reliable power generation system.
