ForewordWelcome to the sixth edition of SolarPower Europe’s Operation &Maintenance (O&M) Best Practice Guidelines.O&M is vital to ensuring the solar PV industry’s long-term success, especially in the EU. As solardeployment grows and digital technologies evolve, harmonising best practices is crucial for scalingoperations efficiently while maintaining quality standards, supporting sustainable growth.O&M is a key segment of the solar industry, creating significant jobs and economic value in Europe,and driving global innovations, particularly in digitalisation. Since the first version in 2016, theguidelines have become a living document, evolving with input from an active community of experts.The new guidelines exclude the Asset Management chapter, as it was addressed in a separatepublication since 2020. They now offer expanded content, including an extended Power PlantMaintenance chapter, a new section on Common Tests and Inspections, and more detailedcoverage of revamping and repowering, focusing on end-of-life aspects, contractual advice, anddismantling challenges. Additionally, the innovation and trends chapter has been updated toshowcase emerging technologies and innovative solutions.This update comes at a time when the importance of quality across the solar PV value chain isgrowing, as highlighted by SolarPower Europe’s Lifecycle Quality Workstream. The Solar QualitySummit, launched in 2023, has become a key forum for discussing quality in the solar sector. Sincethe last version of the O&M guidelines, SolarPower Europe has also published best practices forEngineering, Procurement & Construction, Lifecycle Quality, and End-of-Life Management.To support the global dissemination of best practices, the O&M Best Practice Guidelines weretranslated into German, adapted for the Tunisian market, and adapted for the Indian market incollaboration with the German development cooperation GIZ and India’s National Solar IndustryFederation (NSEFI). The www.solarbestpractices.com platform remains a valuable resource,providing access to our reports, tools, and checklists, as well as a directory of companies thatadhere to best practices.We thank our members for their ongoing engagement, which underscores the importanceof O&M and Asset Management. We look forward to continuing our work in 2025 and invitestakeholders to join our Task Force to enhance solar O&M services even further.Stelios AntellisHead of Global StrategicOperation, AstronergyChair of the SolarPower EuropeLifecycle Quality workstream Walburga HemetsbergerChief Executive Officer,SolarPower Europe3Operation & MaintenanceBest Practice Guidelines Chair of the SolarPower Europe Lifecycle Quality workstream:Stelios Antellis, AstronergyVice-Chairs of the SolarPower Europe Lifecycle Quality workstream:Wojtek Swietochowski, AboenergyCoordinator of the SolarPower Europe Lifecycle Quality workstream:Nikoletta Fodor, SolarPower EuropeContributions and co-authors:Andreas Stiedl (Huawei); Calin Sas (Sunrock); Christian Braun (ISE); Cecilia Moramarco (Sunrock);César Hidalgo López (DNV);DanielBarandalla (UL Solutions); David Melgar (ISE); Giuseppe Farinato (Kiwa); Gautier Moulin (aevy); Ioannis Tsanakas (CEA-INES); Katia Prada(DNV); Laura Azcona (DNV); Patricio Sánchez (Kiwa); Pablo Sebastian Enriquez Paez (BayWa r.e.); Rafael Gomez (RP Global); SebastianLeon (UL Solutions); Thomas Sauer (EXXERGY); Viola Hoffmann (Above); Wojtek Swietochowski (Aboenergy);Yong Sheng Khoo (QE-Labs)Supported by:Intersolar EuropeAcknowledgements:SolarPower Europe would like to extend special thanks to all the Task Force members that contributed to this report with theirknowledge and experience.

Its scope then expanded toinclude Asset Management in 2019, and EPC in 2020, covering the entire lifecycle of solar PV projects. The first version of the O&M BestPractices Guidelines was published in June 2016 and since then, the Task Force has updated the Guidelines regularly. The SolarPowerEurope O&M Best Practices Guidelines reflect the experience and views of a considerable share of the European O&M industry today.There has been no external funding or sponsoring for this project.Disclaimer:Adherence to the SolarPower Europe O&M Best Practices Guidelines report and its by-products is voluntary.
