Vattenfall's Innovative Agrivoltaic Farm: Maintenance Crucial for Optimal Solar Energy Production

Vattenfall's innovative agrivoltaic solar farm in Tützpatz, Germany, combines farming and energy production on a 93-hectare site with 146,000 bifacial modules. To ensure optimal performance, maintenance is vital.

Vattenfall has enlisted ABO Energy-Service for maintenance, which includes scheduled cleanings, component replacements, and system repairs. Daily monitoring helps track revenue trends and diagnose issues promptly. A robust maintenance strategy is crucial to avoid downtime and high repair costs. Starting an operations and maintenance plan involves setting performance goals, establishing responsibilities, and providing training. Regular inspections, electrical testing, and structural checks are key predictive maintenance tasks. Without proper maintenance, solar energy production can be hindered, leading to major expenses and safety risks. Administrative operations, such as billing and staffing, also play a role in minimizing downtime.

Proper maintenance of solar farms, like Vattenfall's agrivoltaic facility, is essential for maximizing energy production, extending the installation's life, and mitigating risks. Regular upkeep ensures efficiency, reduces downtime, and protects renewable investments.
