PV Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Services

Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Services

Your solar energy system is a significant investment that demands expert care to perform at its best. Big Shine Energy’s Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services are designed to ensure your system operates efficiently, safely, and reliably for years to come.

Why Are O&M Services Essential?

Even the most advanced solar energy systems require routine maintenance to maintain peak performance. Factors like dust, debris, weather conditions, and natural wear can diminish energy production and increase costs if not properly managed. Our O&M services address these challenges by:

Protecting Your Investment: Extend the operational lifespan of your photovoltaic (PV) system through regular upkeep.
Ensuring Safety: Mitigate risks from electrical faults or structural issues that could compromise system integrity.
Maximizing ROI: Preserve high energy production levels to secure the best return on your investment.

At Big Shine Energy, our experienced technicians provide expert care to keep your system running optimally, giving you peace of mind and consistent performance.

Addressing Pre-Existing Issues

For systems not designed or installed to optimal standards—whether due to substandard MC4 connectors, low-cost inverters, or other deficiencies—we can identify components requiring repair, replacement, or upgrades. Our team conducts a thorough assessment to help you make informed decisions, preserving what works while addressing what doesn’t.

Customized Maintenance for Your Needs

We understand that every solar installation is unique, which is why we create custom O&M plans tailored to your system’s specific requirements. From annual check-ups—our most popular plan—to more frequent inspections, we’ll design a schedule that works for you.

Comprehensive Diagnostics and Inspections

Our inspections are designed to identify potential issues before they impact system performance. During our visits, we:

Evaluate performance metrics established for your system to determine if it meets expected production goals.
Conduct detailed checks for structural and electrical issues, including delamination, cracks, loose connections, and burn marks. We inspect both the DC and AC side of your system.
Run inverter diagnostics to verify operational efficiency and pinpoint potential problems. (If your inverter has the capabilities)
Analyze environmental factors, such as debris accumulation or module soiling, that could impact performance.

Expert Analysis by Trained Professionals

All O&M work is performed by professional, competent technicians with specialized training in the PV industry. Our team holds NABCEP PV Inspection certification, ensuring your system is evaluated to the highest industry standards.

We utilize state-of-the-art tools, including:

Thermal drones for precise imaging.
Advanced meters for measuring irradiance, temperature, inclination, and insulation resistance.
Inverter diagnostic tools to monitor and assess system operations.
