Solutions to optimize solar projects
Thomas emphasized two important points in optimizing solar projects namely operations and maintenance (O&M) process and design of the solar energy system. In terms of the O&M process, although Vietnam is a potential area to exploit solar energy, weather conditions such as heavy rain, floods, etc are quite harsh and can negatively affect the efficiency of solar projects. For that reason, businesses need to digitalize the O&M process, especially focusing on preventive maintenance to ensure capacity and profit from solar projects.
At the same time, paying more attention to the design of the system prior to installation is absolutely critical to optimize solar projects.
