SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alectris, a global operations and maintenance (O&M) independent service provider for distributed generation and utility scale solar PV plants in North America and Europe, today announced a new tool for solar asset owners to evaluate their O&M priorities and contractors. Vassilis Papaeconomou, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Alectris, presents the tool for the first time at Solar Power Generation USA in San Diego, CA, during his talk, “Evaluating the quality of your O&M contractor.”
“The performance of an O&M contractor is tightly connected to the asset’s performance optimization; however the evaluation of the contractor’s capability to perform and even excel in the contractual obligations is a more complex process,” said Papaeconomou. “We developed this tool for solar asset owners to prioritize their O&M needs and evaluate their contractors. It will assist in the standardization of this process and the industry’s overall best practices development.”
The Alectris Solar PV Owners O&M Evaluation Tool currently includes 85 discrete items related to the basic functions of operations and maintenance for solar PV plants. It assists solar PV plant owners with:
- A holistic, unified approach to evaluating O&M considerations and capabilities
- Self-determined priority setting
