Welcome to the Solar O&M Insider, the first podcast series dedicated to solar PV operations, maintenance and asset management. This series is brought to you by Alectris, a global solar asset care innovation firm. Glenna Wiseman of Identity3 is the host.

The world’s first report on how new digital technologies could be applied to solar PV was issued by SolarPower Europe this past October. Thought to be the first in-depth analysis of digital technology in solar PV in the world, “Digitalisation & Solar” explores how solar can make the most of the market opportunities arising from digitalisation in smart solar homes, peer-to-peer electricity trading, digitalised manufacturing and high-tech O&M.

In this episode, we’re joined by members of the SolarPower Europe Digitalisation & Solar Task Force to explore the emerging trends in high tech O&M.
