Preventive maintenance activities are the core element of maintenance services for a solar PV power plant. It includes periodic visual and physical inspections, as well as verification activities. Maintenance of all key components is conducted at predetermined intervals between plant managers and O&M service providers.
There are 4 common types of maintenance: corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, risk-based maintenance and condition-based maintenance. The solar panel cleaning robot from SolarCleano is one of the key elements of

At the same time, we believe that high-quality distributed photovoltaic projects in areas with low power consumption pressure and high electricity price affordability still hold investment value. In the draft management measures, distributed photovoltaic projects are clearly categorized into four types, each with a well-defined description.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) serves as an ideal solution for off-grid power Footnote 1 owing to their modular nature. As discussed in Chap. 3, a variety of configurations, from 1 W LED solar lanterns to 10–100 W home lighting systems to kilo-Watt scale power plant and mini-grids can be designed for off-grid areas, depending on the suitability of the configuration to

So, not supplying the amount of energy previously c ontracted is a Operation and Maintenance (O&M) practices. Also, as the PV plant wears out, O&M pra ctices become increasingly important to improve or maintain a good performance.
Solar PV system Maintenance is adequately defined in Talayero et al. (2018) as a series of procedures aimed at keeping the PV plant in excellent working order and preventing degradation.
Therefore, maintenance management is essential for reliable and effective operation of PV power plants, ensuring uninterrupted system operation and minimizing downtime. Compared to well-established technologies such as hydro, thermal, and wind, the O&M processes for PV systems are not yet fully structured in many operating companies .
This stage is one of the most important contributions of this paper since new knowledge is generated. By using metadata (such as topic, date of publication, cites, etc.) of the research works, a quantitative analysis is done to obtain statistical information of the current state of maintenance in PV solar plants.
