Within a solar power project, balance-of-system (BoS) equipment plays a critical role in ensuring efficient and reliable operations. Mounting structures and trackers form the backbone of BoS, directly influencing energy output, project economics and long-term […]
India’s solar operations and maintenance (O&M) market is expanding rapidly, driven by the need to monitor performance, reduce downtime, and improve asset yields through analytics, remote monitoring, and emerging digital tools. Advanced O&M practices such […]
By Sakshi Bansal Imagine a finely tuned engine that is left without care for months. It begins to run below capacity, struggles under load, develops faults and eventually could suffer a complete breakdown. A solar […]
By Sat Singh, CEO, Impact Finance As we step into the next 100 years of global energy evolution, solar stands poised not just to lead, but to redefine how we fund, build, and sustain energy […]
Ahmedabad, May 24, 2025 — Mitarsh Energy Private Limited, a leading provider of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services in India’s solar energy sector, has secured a prestigious 375 megawatt peak (MWp) solar O&M contract from […]
Inox Green Energy Services Limited has entered into agreements to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services for 285 MWp of solar projects. These projects are distributed across multiple locations and are owned by two of […]
By Srijan Naayak The Indian solar photovoltaic (PV) segment is witnessing remarkable growth, propelled by the surge in installations and supported by government policies. As of September 30, 2024, India’s cumulative installed solar capacity has […]
The focus on the operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar plants is as important as increasing the uptake of projects. A key aspect of solar O&M involves proper cleaning of modules to remove dust, dirt […]
It is well known that atmospheric dust and soiling can reduce the performance of solar modules. The lack of module cleaning could lead to power output losses of 12-24 per cent per month. Furthermore, if […]
The environmental impact of traditional cleaning methods has come under scrutiny in recent years, particularly in a populous and diverse country like India. Water scarcity is a significant concern in many regions of the country, […]
Sponsored Content Compared with small PV plants, the number and scale of large PV plant components are very big, and late O&M and troubleshooting is increasingly difficult. There can also be an accumulation of problems […]
Just like any engine would work better if it is well maintained and serviced, a solar panel can work with much greater efficiency when it is well cleaned and maintained. Solar panel maintenance is essential, […]
The solar market has been dependent on traditional cleaning systems for decades. Recently, however, there has been a noticeable shift from traditional to semi-automatic and automatic cleaning. Historically, traditional methods have been used since the […]
Remote monitoring of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants is now standard in almost all projects. The primary goal of remote monitoring is to collect data that can be used to develop corrective actions, if performance falls […]
Solar inverters are a crucial component in the deployment of solar energy. These devices convert DC power flowing from solar panels to AC power, making the energy usable for wide-ranging purposes. Solar inverters can be […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) activities are a crucial process in the solar industry. These activities augment the safety and efficiency of solar modules, thereby, ensuring long-term sustainability of projects. External vulnerabilities to a module include […]
In the dry cleaning method of cleaning solar modules, no water is used and solar panels are cleaned using air pressure and dry brushes. Dry cleaning solutions are gaining traction owing to water availability issues […]
One of the most successful ways of moving towards renewable and non-polluting energy sources is by using solar panels to harness the sun’s energy for electricity generation. Solar panels are cost-effective with low maintenance requirements […]
Industrialisation has changed the world in many ways for good and the evolution has been very interesting. The story began with coal-fired steam-based prime movers to artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-assisted equipment today, […]
