Operations & Maintenance Best Practices Guidelines Version 2.0

01/10/2018

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) has become a standalone segment within the solar industry and it is widely acknowledged by all stakeholders that high-quality O&M services mitigate potential risks, improve the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) prices, and positively impact the return on investment (ROI).

Responding to the discrepancies that still exist in today's solar O&M market, a Task Force has been established by SolarPower Europe that comprises major O&M players and experts including ENcome. The O&M Task Force has compiled Best Practices Guidelines for all interested stakeholders in Europe and beyond to benefit from the experience of leading experts in the sector and increase the level of quality and consistency in O&M.

The O&M Best Practices Guidelines can be downloaded from the SolarPower Europe website:
