***** (***** | *****)The Operation and Maintenance Plan for Off-grid Solar Systems covers preventive maintenance, best use practices, and common malfunctions and defects experienced for the O&M of pico-solar PV systems, solar home systems (SHS) (including component-based SHS) and solar water pumps. The O&M Plan covers the following sections:
|
Worksheet
|
Description
|
|
MP_PicoPV
|

|
|
MP_SHS
|
Maintenance plan for Solar PV systems (10W - 350W)
|
|
MP_Pump
|
Maintenance plan for Solar Water Pump (SWP) System
|
|
Warranties
|
Typical warranty terms for Pico PV, Solar Home Systems (including component based and street lights), and Solar Water Pumps
|
|
Frequent Malfunctions

|
|
Protocols
|
This tab contains information applicable to all the applications, consisting of the following tables:-
- Procedures for Testing: Complimentary to 'Frequent Malfunctions' worksheet, indicating procedures for component testing
- Technician Toolkit, listing O&M equipment for all fundamental procedures
- Description of 'Skilled Solar PV Technician'

Glossary of Terms Used in the Operation and Maintenance of Off-Grid Solar System
The Glossary of Terms aims at cataloguing the most common terms utilized in the context of off-grid solar systems (components, storage applications, operation and maintenance). The terms in this glossary are also mapped against different stages of product or system lifecycle. To see a description of the individual sections, please see the table below:

The list of terms are defined in the context of :
(i) Solar photovoltaic applications, including storage
(ii) Off-grid solutions, and therefore standalone applications
(iii) Humanitarian context, that is, settlements / camps for forcefully displaced persons (where applicable)
They are categorized by 'Product / System Lifecycle' and 'Applicability'. The filter provided can be used to sort relevant terms.
