1 Introduction This report describes both mathematical derivation and the resulting software for a model to estimate operation and maintenance (O&M) costs related to photovoltaic (PV) systems. The cost model estimates annual cost by adding up many services assigned or calculated for each year.
In the past solar module cost used to be the dominant factor in PV capital investment but aggressive competitions among manufacturers have helped lowering the module pricing significantly in recent years. For the OPEX, the costs of preventive maintenance and the inverter warranty extension play the biggest role.
The PV O&M cost model assumptions and modeled cost drivers represent dependencies on system size and type, site and environmental conditions, and age. Also, a detailed cost model allows investigation of how costs change over a very long performance period.
Recommendations for future work include an encouragement for system and fleet operators to share their actuarial data on operations and maintenance in order to advance the accuracy and utility of cost estimating tools. Feedback from actual costs should be carefully curated to refine future PV O&M cost estimates.
