Analyst Viewpoint: Driving Forces Behind Market Growth
The rapid expansion of solar energy installations worldwide is propelling the demand for effective solar panel operation and maintenance (O&M) services. The declining cost of solar energy, improved energy storage solutions, and advancements in the grid infrastructure are expanding the use of PV panels, thereby increasing the need for regular servicing and maintenance.
Moreover, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered predictive maintenance is transforming the O&M market. AI technologies can predict potential equipment failures before they occur, allowing for timely interventions that improve system reliability and efficiency.
The market is also benefiting from the global push for sustainability, with numerous countries and organizations promoting solar energy as a means to achieve climate goals and reduce carbon emissions. For example, Malaysia's 'Solar BOLEH!' initiative launched in May 2024 is designed to make solar panel installations more affordable, stimulating market growth.
Market Overview: Solar Panel O&M Essentials
Solar panel O&M is critical for ensuring that photovoltaic systems operate optimally throughout their lifecycle. The primary goal of O&M is to maximize energy production, prevent system failures, and extend the operational life of the panels. Solar panels degrade over time, with an average annual degradation rate of about 0.5%, meaning their efficiency decreases slightly each year.
Another challenge is Potential-induced degradation (PID), a phenomenon that occurs when solar panels experience prolonged high voltage, leading to decreased power output. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspection, helps mitigate PID and ensures that panels remain efficient.
Key Drivers of Market Growth
1. Increase in Adoption of Solar Energy
As global awareness of climate change and the importance of renewable energy grows, the adoption of solar energy is surging. Countries like the United States, which reached 177 GW of installed solar capacity in 2023, are rapidly expanding solar infrastructure. This growth in capacity directly increases the demand for solar panel O&M services to ensure optimal performance.
In addition, governmental initiatives, such as Malaysia's 'Solar BOLEH!' program, aim to make solar energy more accessible for homes, further expanding the market for solar panel maintenance services.
2. Surge in Usage of AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance
The integration of AI into solar panel systems is transforming the O&M landscape. AI-enabled predictive maintenance uses data analytics, machine learning, and real-time monitoring to foresee potential failures, allowing for preemptive repairs that reduce downtime and extend system life. AI-powered tools like drones and thermal imaging cameras are being used to identify issues such as malfunctioning cells or connectors, enhancing the efficiency of the maintenance process.
One example is Loggma Digital Energy Solutions, a software company that developed an AI-based platform capable of analyzing data to detect performance issues in solar plants. This technology is expected to significantly boost the O&M market by improving the accuracy of system monitoring and repair.
