The ROM-PV project has been initiated to develop and commercialize a product that will enable preventive and predictive maintenance and ensure optimal PV plant performance while reducing costs associated to O&M. This will be achieved through the development of a cloud-based solution that will host innovative algorithms able to a) ensure data quality and b) allow failure and performance loss diagnosis (open- and short-circuit failures, inverter and bypass diode faults, shading, degradation, soiling, etc.) without disrupting the normal operation of the PV plant.

This is an industry driven project which combines the research expertise of two well reputated research groups (PV Lab of UCY and CEAEMA of UJA) and an the industrial partner (Alectris Hellas IKE) specialized in maintenance and asset management services, with an award-winning software and retrofit technologies.
