Work on a power plant does not end with connecting the power plant to the distribution grid and starting production. Our company runs a photovoltaic operation center (POC), to which a power plant is connected and through which the power plant is controlled.
The technological experience of our specialists enables us to offer comprehensive service related to the operation of a solar power plant and for the owners of the plant. The aim is to take over the care of the power plant, freeing the investor having to provide care for the lifetime of the plant, that is, 25 years.
We offer the following activities associated with power plant operation:
- Day-to-day supervision of the plant through its own operations center, which our operators run 365 days a year in shift mode (7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the summer and 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the winter); Monitor the functional and output parameters of the power plant, weather information, communicate with technicians, distribution companies, security agencies, and remotely control the power plant, etc., the operations center is a unified communication center for power plant operation.
- HOTLINE support
- The operations center provides remote management of the power plant (or the key technology of the inverter and the HV part)
- Meter reading of produced electricity, incl. billing for electricity produced
- Continuous optimization of the plant to achieve maximum efficiency for the investor, analysis of the entire plant’s production as well as its individual parts (according to inverters)
- Insurance of operation of plant operation (property insurance and non-production insurance), coverage of insurance risks and settlement of claims in the case of an insured event
- Grounds maintenance – grass mowing on the property, chemical maintenance of land to eliminate vegetation growth, maintenance of fencing and entrance gates
