1 Introduction This report describes both mathematical derivation and the resulting software for a model to estimate operation and maintenance (O&M) costs related to photovoltaic (PV) systems. The cost model estimates annual cost by adding up many services assigned or calculated for each year.
To seal the gaps between solar panels, a suitable sealant, such as silicone sealant, can be applied along the edges and joints of the panels. It is important to ensure a complete and consistent sealant layer to prevent moisture ingress and protect the panels.
System Size (Wp DC) 10,000,000.0 Energy Yield Year 1 (kWh/kWp/year) 1,400.0 System Installed Cost $25,600,000 Module Efficiency 16.0% Module Power (W STC) 305 Array Area (m2) 62500 Number of Modules 32787 Module Type/ Degradation Multi-crystal Silicon:0.64%/year Degradation Rate per year 0.0064 Modules per String 14 Number of Strings 2342
This cost model was created with input from the PV O&M Working Group of researchers and industry, sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) 2016-2018. The PV O&M Cost model was developed initially as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and subsequently published as an on-line application by Sunspec Alliance at
Cleaning Solar Panels with Proper Techniques: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning solar panels. Use gentle cleaning methods, such as a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the sealants or panel surfaces.
