3.2 Prerequisites for a Successful O&M Program Borrowing from classroom grades, where “A” is best, it is possible to bring a PV system earning a “D” grade up to a “C” or “B” with effective O&M. But it is not possible to earn an “A” unless O&M was a consideration in the design of a system.
PV system operations is a growing field because increasing PV penetration into the larger utility system, and an emerging market for ancillary services (e.g., dispatch of storage, sourcing reactive power, curtailment of output) require more system interaction on an ongoing basis.
Members of the Working Group have discussed these results and are currently recommending 0.5% for large systems and 1% of system initial cost per year for small systems as a reasonable expectation of PV system O&M costs. These heuristics inform an expectation of PV system O&M cost.
