O&M 2.0: AI, Automation & Smart Strategies to Optimise Performance

Synopsis

As the UK’s solar capacity continues to grow, effective O&M strategies are critical to maximising energy output, extending asset lifespan, and ensuring financial viability. This panel will bring together industry experts to discuss best practices, emerging technologies, and the evolving regulatory landscape for O&M in large-scale solar farms.

• Predictive vs. reactive maintenance – leveraging AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to prevent failures before they occur
• Strategies to optimise asset performance, improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and mitigate degradation
• Integrating O&M strategies for co-located solar-plus-storage projects
• Workforce and supply chain challenges – skills shortages, spare parts availability, and post-warranty servicing
