O&M in Solar PV
EQ Conference
Mumbai 22nd Feb 2017
Anjan Ghosh – Ujaas Energy

2. The Solar Industry
The industry is crossing the seed phase and entering the growth phase: grid parity is the inflection point.
India’s solar market over next decade : Equipment: $6-7 bn (Rs cr) Revenue: $ 4 bn (Rs cr)
The growth will impinge upon : >Frugal cost base >Low cost, efficient financing >Regulation and Policy refinement >Project execution capability >Plant life-cycle management
Players going through the growing pains in seed phase, their experience will yield strong dividends in growth phase.
Utilities will acquire major share; Independents will serve smaller / private off takers in a fragmented market

3. Operation & Maintenance to Asset Management
More than 100 GW Plants already globally to sustain and improve life cycle performance O&M – Activities to ensure plant performs as planned, optimize production , reduce risks, protect values and comply with rules and regulations. A.M – Financial, commercial and administrative activities to ensure plant revenue stream and returns.

4. O & M Requirements
Each PV plant has individual characteristics and need: >Size, location, components, connectivity, contract, PPA etc >Roof top, ground mounted, multi MW etc >Specific regulations and environments
Plan for life cycle performance is the O&M strategy for yrs effective asset management.
Plants will need optimal monitoring, inspection, warranties, insurance & the O&M plan should detail the maintenance philosophy: >Preventive Maintenance >Corrective Maintenance >Predictive Maintenance

5. O&M- Key Success factors
Contractual: >KWHR >Uptime >Grid Support >Reporting
Internal: >Budget &Revenue >Green Power >Operational issues-labour upkeep >Turnaround for performance fall
KPIs: >Performance ratio- PR >Plant Availability >Generation: actual vs planned >Energy losses >Unscheduled outages
