Preventative Maintenance
Through preventative maintenance, we focus on routine tasks such as cleaning, component inspections, verification of electrical terminations, Filter Replacements, thermal imagining Firmware Updates and much more, which helps maintain the long-term health of your solar system and prevent unexpected failures.
Corrective Maintenance
One of the benefits of Preventative Maintenance is being able to detect Corrective Maintenance that can help minimize extended down time and revenue loss. Our team has over 20 years of experience operating an maintaining renewable assets, giving us an untrainable advantage in this industry.
Legacy Inverter Support
We specialize in the troubleshooting and O&M of legacy solar inverters—the older, harder-to-maintain models that many contractors shy away from. From OEM's like Satcon, Xantrex, AE, SMA and many more. We understand the challenges that come with maintaining these systems, which often require specific expertise and parts that are no longer widely available.
Metering & Performance Analytics
Meter Accuracy and Commissioning Services for revenue-grade meters used in both CAISO (California Independent System Operator) and non-CAISO systems.
Our team ensures that your metering systems are accurately calibrated, compliant with ANSI standards, and optimized for precise energy measurement, essential for accurate billing and reporting.
SCADA & Communication
Our team provides expert design, installation, and integration of SCADA systems that enable remote monitoring, data analysis, and control of your solar plant’s operations. We also ensure seamless communication between various components of the system, including inverters, battery storage, and grid connections, providing you with valuable insights to improve system efficiency and reduce downtime.
Aerial Thermal Imaging
Aerial thermal imaging is a crucial tool for maintaining the performance and efficiency of solar power plants. By using drones equipped with thermal cameras, we can quickly detect issues like overheating panels, faulty connections, or areas of poor performance that may not be visible to the naked eye. Allowing for early detection of potential problems, reducing downtime, preventing costly repairs.
PCS Preventative Maintenance
PCS Prevenative Maintenance
The Power Conversion System (PCS) acts as the crucial link between the battery system and the electrical grid, making its proper maintenance essential for system reliability and adherence to interconnection agreements.
We perform thorough physical and infrared inspections of all PCS components to detect any signs of overheating, dust buildup, or loose connections that could impact performance.
For both air and liquid-cooled PCS units, we inspect for leaks, clean components, and replenish refrigerants with manufacturer-approved fluids where necessary.
Comprehensive Preventative Maintenance
Battery Rack Visual & Torque Inspections: We perform detailed inspections of each battery module, rack connection, and DC busbar to identify potential issues such as loose terminals, corrosion, or thermal irregularities.
Insulation Resistance Testing (Megger Testing): Our team conducts thorough insulation resistance testing on both high-voltage DC and AC wiring to verify dielectric integrity and prevent electrical faults.
SCADA & Remote Monitoring
Communication Pathway Validation: We thoroughly test all connections between SCADA, Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), fire suppression systems, and weather sensors to ensure the accuracy and integrity of data transmission.
Latency & Alarm Resolution Testing: Our team ensures that critical alarms, such as thermal events, overvoltage, or communication failures, are accurately logged and transmitted to the asset owner or grid operator without delay.
Performance Analytics & Proactive Optimization
State of Charge (SoC) & State of Health (SoH) Monitoring: By tracking charge and discharge cycles, we identify cell imbalances and degradation patterns, allowing us to recommend preventative measures to avoid potential failures.
Power Dispatch Verification: We confirm that the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is accurately and promptly responding to dispatch signals from utilities, ISOs, or micro-grid controllers with minimal delay.
HVAC & Thermal Management
Filter Replacements & Airflow Validation: We assess HVAC system performance and verify airflow rates to ensure effective cooling and prevent localized overheating.
Coolant Level & Pump Inspections: For liquid-cooled battery systems, we inspect for leaks, monitor coolant quality, and ensure proper pump functionality.
Thermal Runaway Prevention Strategy: We evaluate historical temperature fluctuations, identify thermal hotspots, and optimize airflow distribution to reduce the risk of thermal runaway.
Charge & Discharge Cycle Validation
Round-Trip Efficiency Analysis: We assess the total energy delivered versus energy stored to identify any parasitic losses, inverter inefficiencies, or degradation that may be affecting overall system performance.
Depth of Discharge (DoD) Optimization: By fine-tuning charge and discharge profiles, we help extend the lifespan of battery modules while ensuring compliance with grid service agreements and warranty requirements.
