2. Operation and maintenance

Once the photovoltaic system has been commissioned and accepted, and if it wasn't already, the owner becomes a photovoltaic electricity producer.

Whether professional or not, the owner needs to be informed of the general operation, the precautions to be taken, and the action to be taken in the event of a fault.

Photovoltaic technology is reliable and mature, but it is essential to ensure optimum production to make electricity generation profitable during the operating phase.

The operating phase is the longest and most important, although it is often neglected or poorly prepared.

Operating a PV plant means guaranteeing compliance with contractual obligations, and ensuring technical and administrative follow-up.
