Improved performance, better availability of spare parts and use of the latest technologies as well as analysis and monitoring tools: There are many arguments in favor of modernizing existing PV power plants. However, the complexity of such a project scares many system operators off, but a repowering project does not have to be labor-intensive. The Sunny Design<\/a> web portal provides an easy way to create a modernization plan for your own PV power plant in just a few clicks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ready for the future: repowering brings PV systems up to date with the latest technology<\/h2>\n

PV power plants that were installed during the solar boom just after the turn of the millennium are gradually getting rather long in the tooth. Their output is decreasing, warranties are expiring and spare parts from manufacturers that have fallen victim to market consolidation are no longer available. Older devices and modules no longer satisfy the demands of future-proof energy generation due to rapid advances in technology. An even more important point is that as output wanes, operating costs rise. This natural aging process poses an existential question for power plant operators: dismantle and build anew or refurbish? The most economical solution is repowering<\/a>, which involves replacing old modules and\/or inverters with modern, efficient devices that represent the state of the art. Modernizing in this way can improve the performance of a PV power plant considerably, extend its service life, increase efficiency and availability, reduce operating costs and boost yield. During a repowering project is also an ideal time to incorporate battery-storage systems, for example<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is more, a modernized PV power plant also opens up new income opportunities through the provision of grid management services, for example. And last but not least, the operators benefit from a renewed limited factory warranty.<\/p>\n

Repowering enables PV power plants to deliver better performance once more and reduces operating costs.<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite these benefits, many shy away from the effort involved in a repowering project. This is mainly because they fear that replacing components is too complicated. But the Sunny Design Web portal provides a simple way to obtain an overview of the options for repowering, free of charge.<\/p>\n
