Synopsis
As the UK’s solar capacity continues to grow, the challenges facing operations and maintenance teams have evolved. Underinvestment, theft, vandalism, and workforce pressures are emerging as serious threats to asset performance and ROI.
Discover practical strategies to optimise asset performance, improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and mitigate degradation.
- Predictive vs. reactive maintenance – leveraging AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to prevent failures before they occur
- Understanding the financial and insurance implications of O&M failures and external threats
- Integrating O&M strategies for solar-plus-storage projects – adapting approaches for co-located projects and hybrid infrastructure
