When it comes to solar farms, serious consideration must be given to achieving maximum revenue, and the best way to achieve this is with ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M) of the site by a professional maintenance company such as Electrical Distribution Services (UK) Ltd. Effective maintenance ensures solar installations maintain the high reliability that they were designed to achieve, with m
inimal input from the owner. And it is essential to remember: efficiency will be lost and energy generation decreased if installations are not maintained properly. Solar equipment is designed to be operational for decades, but this can only be achieved with regular and proper attention to all major and component parts. Undetected failures and small issues impact the overall operations of the system, and lost revenues and lower energy generation will be compounded with each undetected and unmanaged issue. Our Services fall into the categories:
Inspection visits
Preventative maintenance
Fault analysis and fault clearing
Corrective maintenance
Spare parts management
Ground keeping
