The requirements for periodic maintenance for energy storage products should be identified by the OEM (IEEE 2010). In settings where predictive analytics maintenance is economical, guidance should also be available from the manufacturer that identifies methodologies for assessing when a product may be approaching a failure mode.

Consult equipment manuals for maintenance activities and intervals as required by the manufacturer. This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at
Demonstration projects at SolarWorld and commercial-scale recycling operations at First Solar have shown that 84% to 90% by weight of a PV module can be recycled (Larsen 2009). If a system transfers ownership, it is important to consider how warranties are handled.
Before commissioning, the operator or installer (qualified personnel) must inspect the system carefully and make sure: 1) The system is firmly and correctly installed according to this Manual, and there is
The goal of this guide is to reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of operations and maintenance (O&M) for photovoltaic (PV) systems and combined PV and energy storage systems.
