Why does your business need an Asset Management plan?

As industries continue to tap into the power of solar energy, the maintenance of solar solutions should be your top priority. Long-term solar benefits can only be reaped when an array is carefully managed and maintained, ensuring your solution lasts decades. An installation generating power at its maximum capacity will save you money and ensure the largest return on your investment, and this is achieved through a comprehensive Asset Management plan.

RenEnergy’s exclusive in-house team of designers and installers provides solar PV and energy storage solutions for the agriculture, commercial and industrial sectors. This includes self-generated electricity, as well as energy efficiency measures to maximise our clients’ return on investment by embracing clean energy and saving on their bottom-line. And our green journey with clients doesn’t end there as we offer a tailor-made Asset Management plan to ensure your panels, other components and business, operates at peak capacity while extending the lifespan of your solution.

What is an Asset Management plan?

Setting up your solar PV array is a major investment and one that can last decades when given the proper TLC. A well-maintained solar energy solution can perform 10 – 30% better than one that has not received regular solar panel maintenance checkups. A comprehensive Asset Management plan provides several benefits for business owners looking to harness the power of the sun. This package is an essential requirement as it provides a protection plan for your solar solution when needed. Depending on the specification of your installation, a solar PV system that is underperforming as a result of environmental, software or equipment impairment can be repaired and maintained in our end-to-end Asset Management plan, with our experienced team performing repairs to panels, software, or other components of your solution that needs extra attention. Our plan also includes general check-ups, software upgrades and inverter maintenance, ensuring your solution continues to operate at ideal capacity.

Flip the switch with RenEnergy

Having the right solar energy partner by your side will help save your business time and money. When it comes to your solution’s maintenance requirements, we have it covered. From remote system monitoring, technical telephone support, quarterly performance reports to feed-in tariff assessments, cleaning services, maintenance and repairs, and inverter servicing, we meet your business needs every step of the way.

Let’s take a closer look into some of the offerings available to you:

Site visits

Depending on the scope of work agreed upon within your plan, we conduct regular site visits throughout the year to ensure that your whole solution is in good physical condition. Through these visits, we will be able to diagnose any problems with your system and take the necessary action to ensure that it is performing optimally.

Electrical systems check

A fault in the electrical system that connects your array to the power grid is a crucial component to ensuring that your solution is functioning at an ideal level. Therefore, making sure that this electrical system is well-maintained is vital. Our package includes methodical checks to all wiring and electrical systems to help ensure that your solar PV system provides the correct level of power to your business while ensuring that the relevant health and safety protocols are in place.

Maintaining your solar inverter

Your solar inverter plays a fundamental role in your solar energy system. It ensures that the DC power generated by the solar panels is inverted to AC electricity which is then utilised to keep your business running. Your solar PV inverters need to be well-maintained as they usually offer a slightly shorter lifespan than solar panels. With RenEnergy, we guarantee that this remains a priority in our checks, with general visual inspections of inverters and auxiliary equipment conducted for any anomalies, filter cleaning and inspection of fuses being at the top of the list. 

Cleaning

Did you know that a clean array will outperform a dirty one by an average of 4.7%? Solar panels that were once caked in grime can generate 50% more energy after a thorough cleaning, demonstrating the effectiveness a good scrubbing can have on your system. RenEnergy helps maintain your solution by ensuring that panels underproducing due to dirt and various environmental elements are thoroughly cleaned.

Vermin check

While dust and dirt can often pose problems to the functioning of your solar solution, a recurring annoyance when it comes to solar installations is vermin, particularly bird’s nests and rodents that nest in and around your array. RenEnergy’s Asset Management plans include the removal of these vermin in order to prevent current or future problems that may affect the functioning of your solar solution.

As your partner in power, RenEnergy provides peace of mind in all aspects regarding the maintenance of your solar PV system and ensures that your business’s solar solution is functioning smoothly and at optimal capacity.
