countries. In October twonew plants representing 2 MW were added in the Czech Republic. Thisbrings the
current total of serviced PV plants to 51,7 MW. Thecompany has plans to expand its O&M portfolio

Operations
and maintenance grow more important
With solar energy playing an increasing
role in today’s worldsome investors oversee the importance of proper O&M of theirassets. Many plants
do not run at full capacity due to faulty orcontaminated modules, mistakes in the planning and
constructionphase or insufficient maintenance. Real-time monitoring can helpmake technical adjustments which
ultimately lead to an increase inrevenues.
“As with any other long-term
investment it is vital to havePV-power plants running at full capacity,” says PhotonEnergy
Group CEO Georg Hotar. Especially during the wintermonths the right O&M can
contribute enormously to maximising aplant’s output. Insufficient O&M on the other hand can
causesmall-scale outages to remain undetected. Photon Energy Operations’integrated service approach helps PV
plants and their revenuesachieve their full potential.
