Operation and Maintenance Services (O&M)

Solar O&M services in Gujarat

A solar plant that isn’t looked after quietly loses generation, and you only notice it on the bill. We monitor, clean, maintain and report on your plant so it keeps producing what it was built to produce.

Why O&M pays for itself

On a 1 MWp plant, every 1% of lost generation is about 14,500 units a year, which is over ₹1 lakh at Gujarat HT tariffs. Dust, a tripped string, a failed inverter or a loose connection can each cost far more than that, unnoticed, for months. The job of O&M is to find those losses quickly and fix them.

What’s included

01

24×7 remote monitoring

Real-time dashboards for generation, PR and the health of every inverter and string, with alerts when output drops.

02

Module cleaning

Scheduled by how fast dust actually builds up at your site, not just by the calendar. Foundry, cement and highway sites need more cleaning than a clean industrial estate.

03

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled inspection of modules, inverters, structures, cables, earthing and protection devices.

04

Corrective maintenance

Fault diagnosis and repair, with spares managed by us.

05

Performance reporting

Monthly generation and PR reports you can hand to management, auditors or OEM customers’ sustainability teams.

06

Predictive analytics

Our monitoring platform flags components that are trending toward failure before they fail.

For ground-mount captive plants: upkeep of the 11 kV evacuation line and plant security are included too.

Pricing

Plants built by Renesys: O&M is free for the first year after commissioning, spares included.

After that, and for plants built by other installers, we quote for your plant. The price depends on plant size, rooftop or ground-mount, how often the site needs cleaning, and the plant’s age and condition.

How we measure performance

  • Performance ratio (PR) is the share of the sun’s potential your plant actually turns into power. It’s the fairest single measure, because it adjusts for the weather.
  • On ground-mount captive plants, we guarantee a minimum 75% annual PR during the O&M contract. Our foundry plants reached up to 83.9% in FY 2025-26.
  • Every report shows generation against expected generation, so a shortfall is visible straight away, not at year end.

Taking over O&M of an existing plant

  1. Plant audit: visual and electrical inspection, plus a review of monitoring data and past generation.
  2. Fix list: a priced list of anything that’s costing you generation now.
  3. Monitoring set-up: we connect your inverters to our platform.
  4. Routine starts: the cleaning and maintenance schedule, with monthly reports from month one.

Frequently asked questions

What do solar O&M services include?

Remote monitoring, module cleaning, preventive and corrective maintenance, spares management and monthly performance reports. For ground-mount plants, they also cover the 11 kV evacuation line and site security.

How much does solar O&M cost?

For plants Renesys builds, O&M is free in the first year. After that, and for plants built by others, we quote per plant, based on its size, type, cleaning needs and condition. Contact us for a quote.

How often should solar panels be cleaned in Gujarat?

It depends on the site. Dusty industrial and highway locations may need cleaning every one to two weeks in the dry season. Cleaner sites need it less often. We set the schedule from measured soiling, not a fixed calendar.

What is a good performance ratio for a solar plant?

A well-maintained plant in Gujarat typically achieves 75–85% PR. Our foundry plants reached up to 83.9% in FY 2025-26.

Do you maintain plants built by other companies?

Yes. We start with an audit of the plant and its generation history, fix what’s costing generation, then take it into our regular O&M routine.

How does remote monitoring work?

Inverters send data to our platform continuously. Dashboards show live generation and component health, store the history, and raise alerts when output falls below what the weather says it should be.

Is your plant producing what it should?

Ask for a performance check. We’ll compare your generation with what your plant should be making.
