How aerial data directs O&M crews to the right place, right time

Labor shortages have emerged as the primary challenge for solar companies in the US. In many situations, solar plant managers are forced to either forgo inspections, or end up deploying technicians to inspect plants that are working just fine, tackling issues that won’t result in meaningful benefit to asset owners, thereby wasting the time of highly skilled labor.

Deploying crews and technicians directly to underperforming assets to maximize uptime and revenue can be made easier. In this pv magazine webinar, join our initiative partner Zeitview to delve into the key challenges and possible solutions faced by asset owners, managers, operations and maintenance providers, lenders and investors, engineering and construction firms, and policymakers. Insights into plant design and sizing will also emerge from the presentations and discussion.

Mark Culpepper, general manager of Solar from Zeitview will show how the massive solar data they have collected through the North American Solar Scan can be used to address challenges of O&M, and will show real comprehensive data from operating plants throughout the US. We’ll see views of well performing and less performant plants, along with strategic insights and tools for delivering world-class O&M by focusing on big wins.
