A practical guide to improving photovoltaic power plant lifecycle performance and output Photovoltaic (PV) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure introduces a Preemptive Analytical Maintenance (PAM) for photovoltaic systems engineering, and the Repowering planning approach, as a structured integrated system delivery process. A team of veteran photovoltaics professionals delivers a robust discussion of the lessons learned from mature industriesincluding PV, aerospace, utilities, rail, marine, and automotiveas applied to the photovoltaic industry. The book offers real-world technical and fiscal examples of the impact of photovoltaics to all stakeholders during the concept, specification, operations, maintenance, and Repowering phases. In each chapter, readers will learn to develop RAMS specifications, reliability data collection, and tasks while becoming familiar with the inherent benefits of how these affect the cost of design and development, maintenance, spares, and syste
