Operation and Maintenance Guidelines of Grid Connected PV Plants

For the optimal operation of a PV plant, maintenance must be carried out on a regular basis.
All the components should be kept clean. It should be ensured that all the components are fastened
well at their due place.
Maintenance guidelines for various components viz. solar panels, inverter, wiring etc. are discussed
below:
1. SOLAR PANELS
Although the cleaning frequency for the panels will vary from site to site depending on soiling, it is
recommended that
The panels are cleaned at least once every fifteen days.
Any bird droppings or spots should be cleaned immediately.
Use water and a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning.
Do not use detergent or any abrasive material for panel cleaning.
Isopropyl alcohol may be used to remove oil or grease stains.
Do not spray water on the panel if the panel glass is cracked or the back side is perforated.
Wipe water from module as soon as possible.
Use proper safety belts while cleaning modules at inclined roofs etc.
The modules should not be cleaned when they are excessively hot. Early morning is particularly
good time for module cleaning.
Check if there are any shade problems due to vegetation or new building. If there are, make
arrangements for removing the vegetation or moving the panels to a shade-free place.
Ensure that the module terminal connections are not exposed while cleaning; this poses a risk
of electric shock.
Never use panels for any unintended use, e. g. drying clothes, chips etc.
Ensure that monkeys or other animals do not damage the panels.
2. CABLES AND CONNECTION BOXES
Check the connections for corrosion and tightness.
Check the connection box to make sure that the wires are tight, and the water seals are not
damaged.
There should be no vermin inside the box.
Check the cable insulating sheath for cracks, breaks or burns. If the insulation is damaged, replace
the wire.
If the wire is outside the building, use wire with weather-resistant insulation.
Page 87 of 154
 Make sure that the wire is clamped properly and that it should not rub against any sharp
edges or corners.
If some wire needs to be changed, make sure it is of proper rating and type.
3. INVERTER
The inverter should be installed in a clean, dry, and ventilated area which is separated from,
and not directly above, the battery bank.
Remove any excess dust in heat sinks and ventilations. This should only be done with a dry
cloth or brush.
Check that vermin have not infested the inverter. Typical signs of this include spider webs on
ventilation grills or wasps’ nests in heat sinks.
Check functionality, e.g. automatic disconnection upon loss of grid power supply, at least once
a month.
Verify the state of DC/AC surge arrestors, cable connections, and circuit breakers.
4. SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM
Disconnect system from all power sources in accordance with instructions for all other
components used in the system.
Completely cover system modules with an opaque material to prevent electricity from being
generated while disconnecting conductors.
To the extent possible, system shutdown will not be done during day time or peak generation.
