So I have occasion to monitor a good size solar array. Its pretty new and I confess, I had some training, but I don't know all that much about it.
Tomrw I will have a "ride along" and get to ask some questions. As they say, "there are no stupid questions, but there are... xxx ..." you fill in the blanks.
Any good prompts where to steer the conversation?
Some things that come to mind
any maintenance?
I see that there are some filters that get plugged up and could be cleaned out on the inverter cabinets.
heat scan / IR
The actual arrays could be washed down after the rainy season I guess, or at the height of the summer.
I can monitor the output and investigate if it changes in a big way over time.
Do you have to tighten up any connections in the field where they orignate, before the get to the combiner?
