Operation & Maintenance Platform

Two things every operating plant needs: people who know what to look for, and instruments that show what the SCADA cannot.

1 · Operation & Maintenance Training

Practical O&M training for solar and BESS plants

Practical, plant-operation-based sessions built around the way plants actually fail — soiling, string faults, inverter trips, tracker and grid issues — and around the KPIs that contracts measure: performance ratio, CUF, availability and excusable events.

Delivered at the customer's site or at a partner plant, for O&M technicians, site engineers, EPC handover teams, C&I energy managers and lenders' monitoring staff. Every participant leaves with checklists, procedures and a record of the tests they performed.

What the programme covers

Solar PV — detailed training module for solar rooftop and ground-mount plants:

  • PV fundamentals: how the plant works, components and their failure modes
  • Safety: PPE, permit-to-work, lock-out/tag-out, working at height
  • Preventive maintenance: module cleaning, structure and roof, DC cabling, DCDB, inverter, ACDB, earthing, monitoring system
  • Testing and diagnostics: Voc / Isc, insulation and earth resistance, thermography, I–V curve tracing
  • Performance analysis: PR, specific yield, CUF, generation curves and loss categories
  • Troubleshooting: inverter alarms, common field faults, module replacement
  • Records, spares, emergency response and seasonal care
  • Written and practical assessment with checklists and log templates

Battery energy storage (BESS):

  • Battery operation: state of charge, cell balancing, thermal management, fire safety
  • Battery maintenance and state-of-health tracking

What the IV curve tracer finds

  • Under-performing strings and modules — power, Voc, Isc and fill factor against datasheet values
  • Module degradation, PID and LID; cracked cells and hot spots (with thermography)
  • Bypass-diode failures, shading and soiling signatures
  • Series resistance from loose MC4s, corroded connectors and cable faults
  • Mismatch between strings on the same inverter input
  • Evidence for module warranty claims and EPC performance-guarantee disputes
2 · Solar IV Curve Tracer

Online IV curve testing software

A SCADA tells you a plant is under-performing; an IV curve tells you why. Our software takes IV curves from the tracer together with irradiance and module temperature, translates them to STC and ranks every string against its expected output — online, with the results stored against the plant.

Use it for annual or pre-monsoon test campaigns, commissioning and handover acceptance, or to investigate a specific shortfall. Each test set produces a string-level report, a list of corrective actions, and the expected generation recovery in kWh and rupees.

Access is restricted to Climate Forge administrators — the link opens the admin sign-in.

Combine both with Climate Forge Portal

Test results and training records can be logged in the O&M module of the platform, so every string test and every intervention sits beside the plant's performance data.
