Description and Background: The operations and maintenance of solar, energy storage and hybrid assets is under pressure. Severe weather mitigation, labor shortages, emissions containment and carbon sequestration, and the reduction of adverse environmental strategies pressure O&M providers in unprecedented ways. Couple these macro factors with the move to PTC performance demands and it becomes clear service providers must find and refine technology solutions to improve the overall O&M toolkit. AI, data science and technological breakthroughs must drive efficiencies in the long-term operation of grid clean energy assets. This topic addresses the future mix of O&M solutions, how they will be deployed, what exists now and how it could potentially evolve in the future, and the gaps visionaries will need to fill. From autonomous mowing, AI aided performance monitoring to extreme weather incident mitigation solutions, this topic addresses how technology could fit together in the O&M Solution Set of the Future. Those who will benefit include investors, asset owners, O&M service providers and those who operate our nation’s clean energy portfolio.
