AI enter maintenance
The Covid-19 pandemic quarantine has presented a new collection of challenges for solar PV operations as well as maintenance. The subject has actually gotten sector focus since PV sites do not have onsite employees. Huawei states its new Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis-- incorporating artificial intelligence, digital technologies, as well as PV-- is a first-step service toward unmanned O&M. With the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) ever before lowering, enhancements in O&M efficiency and going along with expense reductions may increase the arrival of the grid parity era.
