Do you know about the photovoltaic module cleaning service? We will tell you about it through the success story: operation and maintenance. This service is essential to maintain the proper long-term operation of photovoltaic plants and ensure efficient output. Operation and maintenance, or O&M, is one of the key services we offer. Carrying out certain predictive and preventive tasks effectively and regularly saves both time and costs in future corrective maintenance work. Among the different tasks we perform, our preventive service includes the cleaning of equipment and modules using different technologies.
What does it involve?
The specific programmes designed to clean the different types of modules in use make it possible to tackle effectively the dirt that builds up on them over time. Dust and mud are some of the elements that can most affect the operation of photovoltaic panels. By removing these residues periodically, we improve their performance and output.
For module cleaning, roller tractors are used with treated water free from chemical products that could leave traces such as limescale, chlorine or other residues. At Enerland, we work with suppliers that offer the highest quality to carry out this work quickly and efficiently, without interrupting plant production or interfering with the radiation received. We provide this service not only for large-scale photovoltaic plants, but also at the facilities of Monticell.
Success story: operation and maintenance at La Pizarra Photovoltaic Plant
Construction of the La Pizarra Solar Plant was completed last year. After delivering the EPC service, our client also chose us as its operation and maintenance provider. Since then, various tasks have been carried out to ensure the plant's performance and output are maximised from the moment it entered into operation.
"Cleaning is a vital maintenance operation for the efficiency of the installation, as production increases of up to 5% can be achieved, while also helping the modules achieve their intended service life" -Eduardo Cardiel, Head of the O&M area at Enerland Group.
Today, we are sharing images of the photovoltaic module cleaning process. This service was carried out using the articulated "tractor with roller" system
