O&M

Making full use of AI data analysis and remote monitoring, facilities are always kept in optimal condition

Operation and Maintenance are extremely important duties, with the primary purpose being to quickly detect any irregularities within the facility and take any countermeasures required. The secondary purpose is to analyze long term electrical generation quantities and perform inspections and maintenance on a regular basis, before any problems may occur.
Based on years of experience and knowledge, with the use of the latest technologies, remote monitoring, strings monitoring, remote I-V curve analysis, the use of drones for infrared analysis of panels, AI analysis of various data, and the projection of the quantity of electrical generation are performed while reduction of generation quantity and loss of performance are prevented in advance, providing quality O&M in order to protect the interests of the investors.

Strengths of Smart Solar O&M

  • Sizable reduction in inspection time through the use of AIs to analyze video data gathered through drone ultraviolet inspections
  • Quick response to any anomalies, and the knowledge and know-how for problem-solving

Operation&Maintenance

Concerning maintenance and inspection management duties

Operation Maintenance Business

Using a remote monitoring device to measure power generation, daily management of power quantity and equipment will take place.
Also, when an alert is received or an emergency response is required, primary response will take place within 2 hours. After that, permanent remedies may be sought based on discussions with the equipment manufacturers.
