O&M stands for Operations & Maintenance. The term O&M is used to describe management and care services for works and factories, in which activities such as operation supervision and machinery maintenance are prominent.

O&M services for solar power systems include 3 main areas:

• Operation management service: This is an intensive management step for completed solar power systems that can be put into operation.
• Inspection, maintenance and maintenance service: This is a step for all solar power systems to ensure smooth operation, limit risks and optimize the life and performance of the equipment. 
• Solar panel system cleaning service: This is the step that cleans the panels from dirt such as dust, bird droppings, leaves, garbage, etc., helping to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of the solar panels. 

O&M service will help ensure the smooth operation of the system and timely detect system errors. From there, the investor can quickly fix the damage, avoid future problems, ensure the power output and the operating time, the operation of the system is the most optimal.

Why use O&M services of professional companies?

In fact, the investors of solar power systems can completely monitor, take care of, and perform the work of monitoring the operation and maintenance of their solar power systems. However, the solar power system is a system that requires a large investment, has many complicated machines and specialized knowledge about solar power systems is still relatively unknown to many people, especially in Vietnam. Therefore, the use of operation management and periodic maintenance services of professional O&M service providers will help ensure the smooth operation of the system and timely detect problems.
