The O&M of solar plants is crucial to ensure that they function well and also meet energy production ambitions over the lifecycle. Thus, O&M of solar plants is essential to extend the lifespan of a solar plant. At the same time, the timely operation and maintenance O&M of solar plants helps minimize the multiple risks, such as soiling, micro-cracking, internal corrosion, among others, that solar plants are at.
