Study Notes

Inspection Protocols

Annual inspections are required for inverter enclosures and buildings.
Inspections follow industry standards and O&M manuals as specified by equipment manufacturers.
Visual inspections of instruments at meteorological stations must occur annually, including module temperature sensors.
Additional inspections for PV module cleaning are based on performance and conducted as needed.

Solar PV System Maintenance Plans

Solar PV systems require only one maintenance session annually.
Visual inspections of PV modules should examine cleanliness.
Supporting structures should be visually inspected for signs of rust, soiling, inclination, and galvanization, also annually.
