Solar Park or Solar power plant with comprehensive maintenance agreement
A comprehensive maintenance agreement and proactive maintenance ensure the profitability of your investment
The design phase of a solar power plant or solar park plays an essential role in the maintenance costs. Maintenance considerations should be included from the outset when planning a solar power plant investment. The lowest investment cost does not automatically guarantee the best lifecycle return. Total investment costs should consider not just the purchase price and yield of the solar power plant but also its effects on the property and electrical network, as well as warranty and insurance risks.
Rooftop solar power plant
When installing on a flat roof, the impact on the roof structure must be considered. The frame profiles of the solar panel mounting system should be raised well above the roof surface to ensure free water flow. Interrupting water flow can lead to premature roof replacement. The mounting system should also avoid high point loads on the roof; large-area weight pads are the safest choice for roof integrity. One of the significant warranty and insurance risks can be mitigated by installing solar panels according to Finland’s snow load standards, with four-point mounting on the long sides.
Ground-mounted solar power plant
For ground installations, factors such as soil characteristics, land use, maintenance routes, vegetation control, and water management must be considered during the design phase. Choosing high-quality components and the appropriate installation system and anchoring method can significantly impact maintenance costs. In Finland, there is generally no need to wash or clean solar panels. Snow loads, vegetation, frost, etc. are easier to adapt to in a cost-effective way when their impacts are taken into account and eliminated as far as possible at the design stage.
A solar power plant with a secure return guaranteed by an ongoing maintenance contract
Finnwind Oy offers comprehensive maintenance and servicing services. A maintenance contract for both on-site and ground-mounted solar power plants typically includes ongoing remote monitoring and visual and electrical inspections according to an agreed maintenance schedule. Thermal imaging is often conducted during visual inspections to proactively detect emerging faults.
If the delivery included a medium voltage transformer, the maintenance agreement typically also covers operational management services.
For ground-mounted plants, vegetation control is usually necessary. The cost of vegetation control can be significantly influenced by design choices such as layout and installation system selection.
