A study by TÜV Rheinland Global has revealed that 30% of PV plants have serious defects, and 50% of these defects are due to errors during installation and operation, poor supervision, undetected poor performance for long periods, underestimation of cleaning needs, insufficient maintenance budget and component incompatibility. This session will discuss the implementation of quality practices as a strategy that minimizes risks and reduces operating and maintenance costs.
