PRS STUDY
Any Solar Project can suffer from a variety of performance issues due to faulty design, poor engineering, inferior components quality, degradation, ageing, PID, poor Operation & Maintenances (O&M), etc. This is evident from the deterioration in output. In some cases, the deterioration is faster than planned or anticipated.
Understanding the Solar PV system performance is not as easy as it may look or conveyed, there are several factors affecting the performance of the solar PV system. Some of these factors could be the pre-considered and industry specific but as these factors are considered during the design & engineering phase and seem to be the least bothering to the clients as the performance projections are derived after considering these industry specific factors.
Why Is My Solar PV System Not Performing as Expected? Well, the answer lies within the design & engineering of the solar PV system, as most of the factors that affect the solar PV system performance are the ones which could have been avoided during the design & engineering phase.
A2P Resources carry out independent Solar Performance, Reliability, and Safety (PRS) study to help the solar asset owners understand and eliminate the factors which have been affecting the peak performance of their solar PV system and leading to revenue loss.
Our Solar study services majorly focused on following four points:
Performance: Is my solar PV system performing as anticipated or committed by the EPC partner?
Revenue: Am I actually making profit from my solar PV system?
Affecting Factors: What are the performance affecting factors in my solar PV system? Is it Design & engineering, Component’s quality, or the O&M activities?
Correction Methods: How can I improve the performance and hence revenue from my solar PV system?
PRS study attempts to identify such issues and recommend remedial measures for performance enhancement, increasing revenue, reliability improvement and safety betterment.
PRS STUDY RECOMMENDED FOR:
Although any solar PV Project can benefit from such audits but following are the solar PV projects which stand to benefit the most:
Any solar PV project which is in operation for 2+ years and have never been audited for its Performance.
Recently installed Solar Project investors looking for 3rd party verification.
Captive or rooftop Solar Projects facing issues related to inconsistent daily basis generation.
Installed Solar projects facing generation issues i.e. generation not inline with expected/projected generation.
Installed Solar projects which are facing reliability issues i.e. Uptime/downtime or safety issues – tripping, short circuit, sparking etc.
Solar project owners looking to sell their projects to strategic investors.
Solar project owners planning to enter into Carbon market.
Utility scale Solar projects looking for drone thermography or infra red imaging.
Solar Projects with complaints about sparking, flashing, short-circuiting, up-time etc.
Any solar PV project installed for institutions, commercial, Industrial, or business purposes ranging from 50 kWp and above and solar PV projects installed at utility scale can benefit from this exercise.
Even if a plant is performing well, this exercise reassures that everything is working fine. For such plants a preliminary or basic audit (basic data analysis) can be done.
