During the construction phase of solar projects we focus on ensuring budget and timelines are clearly defined and met. Our solar experts offer on-site inspection and supervision, detailed construction support and planning, project management and planning. We also manage contractors and the implementation of quality control and safety programs. Every supplier and construction partner we use needs to pass a stringent selection and accreditation process, and we follow a strict quality control management plan for every project. Our EPC capabilities provide you with peace of mind and our solution will deliver the best prices, incredible performance and exceptional all-round quality.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
The Canadian Solar team ensures your PV projects are constructed cost effectively and operate flawlessly. By maintaining the solar plant operation, we ensure that your system continues to produce energy at maximum levels throughout the life span of the system and, more importantly, ensures your solar system continues to drive maximum ROI. We have a state-of-the-art monitoring facility in Canada that remotely oversees the operation of hundreds of megawatts installed globally, 24/7. In addition to monitoring, we offer various levels of maintenance, that ensure all our clients enjoy unparalleled confidence in their investment. And this is backed by the Canadian Solar Performance Guarantee over the entire life span of the project.
Energy Solutions: O&M Services
The Canadian Solar’s O&M business was born out of necessity to operate and maintain the company’s own utility scale solar power plants in Ontario, Canada. Since all the solar plants were our own, we built the O&M team to provide the best level of service and operations in order to maximize the value of these solar assets. Today, we have sold off all these original power plants to third-party asset owners. Yet our best practices and processes have become ingrained in our O&M team’s DNA and we continue to provide the same level of care and service to our third-party asset owners.
Canadian Solar O&M services are designed to maximize the lifetime value of your solar power plant assets. Leveraging our 17 years of solar industry experience and 700+ MW under operation and 1.2 GW contracted worldwide, Canadian Solar proactively monitors and manages your plants minimizing downtime and increasing site availability, resulting in maximum energy production, revenues and profitability. Customized service packages offer the right fit for any solar power plant owner.
CSEye Site Monitoring
We have built our own monitoring/asset management software (CSEye) to provide critical 24/7/365 remote monitoring, diagnostics and troubleshooting. Developed by using years of aggregated data from our PV plants under O&M, our proprietary algorithms are used to:
Analyze daily plant performance Pinpoint potential problems even if they are not reported by the SCADA system We have a NERC compliant Operations Control Center (OCC) to monitor and respond to any anomalies in real-time.
Reporting
Daily, Monthly and Annual reports provide a record of key parameters and significant operational events and trends.
Reports include:
• Executive summary • Daily performance statistics • Annual performance • Maintenance summary • Spare parts summary • Summary of technical and other issues • Root cause analysis for corrective maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
We continuously review the condition, operability and safety of all PV systems and perform the required preventative maintenance to ensure maximum performance of the plant. We minimize generational losses when performing preventative maintenance.
Corrective Maintenance
We arrange for corrective maintenance to be performed on site. Our field technicians have experience with numerous module, inverter, tracker, and other BOS technologies.
Warranty Management
Let Canadian Solar be your advocate for all warranty claims. We will enforce your claims and exercise all your rights arising under warranties and guarantees for components located within the project.
Spare Parts Management
Canadian Solar can maintain an inventory of spare parts either on site or at an off-site facility controlled by the owner.
Safety
At Canadian Solar, safety is of paramount importance. We ensure the safety of all maintenance activities performed at the site. To date, we have zero lost time due to any safety issues.
