Utilising EAM software is enabling the smart operations of solar panel maintenance and renewable energy sites globally.

Enterprise Asset Management software (EAM software) is revolutionising the green energy industry. Our aim is to move clients from reactive maintenance planning to predictive maintenance scheduling that will enable energy companies to grow in line with increased demand for renewable energy.

Accessibility to remote solar, wave, wind, and biofuel assets present notable impediments, however, it has been proven that the installation of EAM software serves to mitigate, and in many situations, eliminate, these challenges.

The global solar PV power market is projected to grow from £191 billion in 2022 to £304 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.9%. As of May 2023, there was a total of 15.1 GW of solar capacity across 1,334,453 installations in the UK, this is an increase of 6.4% (911 MW) - in absolute terms, this is the highest annual increase seen since December 2017.

This rapid market growth exhibits that now is the time to optimise solar panel maintenance and overall operational efficiency. Utilising advanced systems, such as HxGN EAM, creates the capacity for scalable growth to coincide with the burgeoning market expansion that is expected over the next 6 years.

HxGN EAM software offers asset-intensive industries comprehensive functionality to support the entire maintenance life cycle. From initial build and commissioning phases, through the life expectancy to the decommissioning stage, HxGN EAM records all operations and maintenance management (O&M) activity, and costs for each asset.

Using integrated Internet of Things (IoT) technology such as Smart Metering, HxGN EAM retrieves real-time data that vigilantly monitors equipment performance, records equipment analysis, all based on asset runtime periods. Modernising your maintenance procedures also reduces equipment failure rates, maximises asset value and enhances overall operating profits.

HxGN EAM delivers streamlined work scheduling for technicians working onsite and in the field. Work Order Management accurately allocates, and dispatches resources based on their skills to manage the Work Order and Checklist process through our cloud-based EAM application from your desktop or mobile device.

Field-based technicians responsible for solar panel maintenance can be sent work specifications and work orders to ensure that the right technicians are at the right place at the right time.

Additionally, any necessary permits to work can be validated before an instruction is sent, ensuring the best qualified individual is always mobilised.

TouchstoneEnergy will successfully implement, maintain, and support your HxGN EAM installation for any renewable energy organisation no matter the geographical location. We support more than 3,000 users across 3 continents with a proven track record for optimising processes, asset management procedures and solar panel maintenance activities.
