PRS STUDY (PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY & SAFETY)
Independent Diagnostics to Eliminate Generation Losses & Maximize Profitability
Any solar project can suffer from a variety of performance issues due to faulty design, poor engineering, inferior component quality, age-related degradation, Potential Induced Degradation (PID), or poor Operation & Maintenance (O&M). This becomes evident when plant output deteriorates—sometimes much faster than anticipated.
Understanding solar PV performance is not as simple as it looks. Many clients eventually ask: "Why is my Solar PV system not performing as expected?" The answer often lies within the initial design and engineering phase, where many performance-affecting factors could have been mitigated.
A2P Resources carries out independent Performance, Reliability, and Safety (PRS) Studies to help solar asset owners uncover these hidden issues, eliminate the factors leading to revenue loss, and implement remedial measures for safety and performance enhancement.
The 4 Core Focus Areas of a PRS Study
Our independent PRS audits are designed to answer four critical questions for asset owners:
Performance: Is my solar PV system performing as anticipated or committed by the EPC partner?
Revenue: Am I actually making the projected profit and ROI from my solar asset?
Affecting Factors: What exactly is dragging down performance? Is it flawed design & engineering, inferior component quality, or inadequate O&M activities?
Correction Methods: How can I improve the performance, restore reliability, and enhance revenue generation?
Who Should Request a PRS Study?
While any solar PV project (from 50 kWp C&I rooftops to utility-scale plants) can benefit from this exercise, a PRS Study is highly recommended for:
Ageing Assets: Any project in operation for 2+ years that has never undergone a formal performance audit.
Underperforming Plants: Captive, rooftop, or ground-mount projects facing inconsistent daily generation or yields failing to match projected expectations.
Safety & Reliability Risks: Projects experiencing frequent downtime, inverter tripping, sparking, flashing, or short-circuiting.
New Installations: Investors in recently installed projects seeking independent, third-party verification of EPC quality.
Strategic Financial Moves: Project owners preparing to sell their assets to strategic investors or planning to enter the Carbon Credit market.
Utility-Scale Operations: Large-scale solar farms requiring advanced drone thermography or infrared imaging.
Note: Even if a plant appears to be performing well, a preliminary or basic data-analysis audit provides valuable reassurance that all safety and generation metrics are optimally aligned.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing Suite
Drone-Based Thermal Imaging (Thermography): We fly radiometric thermal drones over megawatt-scale arrays to identify cellular hot-spots, bypassed diode failures, and micro-cracks that are completely invisible to the naked eye.
I-V Curve Tracing: By measuring the Current-Voltage (I-V) curve at the string level, we instantly diagnose module PID (Potential Induced Degradation), mismatch losses, and precise degradation rates against factory flash data.
Performance Ratio (PR) Benchmarking: We calculate the exact ratio of actual energy exported against the theoretical energy potential (based on on-site pyranometer irradiance data), isolating hardware inefficiencies from weather variables.
Earthing & Power Quality Audits: Testing earth pit resistance values and analyzing total harmonic distortion (THD) to prevent catastrophic inverter failures and ensure grid compliance.
The Outcome: You receive a comprehensive Health & Rectification Report outlining the exact technical interventions required to restore your plant’s yield and protect your bottom line.
