Global PV Operation & Maintenance Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031
Description
According to this study, the global PV Operation & Maintenance market size will reach US$ 9057 million by 2031.
PV Operation & Maintenance refers to the comprehensive maintenance and management of solar photovoltaic power generation systems, which includes regular inspections, cleaning, fault diagnosis and repair, performance monitoring, and optimization adjustments, aiming to ensure the stable operation of the system, maintain high power generation efficiency, extend the service life of equipment, and provide guarantees for the long-term reliability and investment return of photovoltaic power stations.
Market opportunities and key drivers:
The photovoltaic operation and maintenance market is experiencing explosive growth. The core opportunities stem from the continuous expansion of photovoltaic installation capacity under the global energy transition and strong policy promotion. As of 2024, China's cumulative photovoltaic installed capacity has exceeded 886.66 GW (concentrated power accounts for 57.6%, distributed power accounts for 42.4%), and it is expected to exceed 1200 GW by 2030. The huge installed capacity of power stations has created a strong demand for operation and maintenance. From the policy perspective, China mandates that new photovoltaic power stations be equipped with intelligent operation and maintenance systems, and existing power stations must complete digital transformation within a deadline, and distributed photovoltaic projects can only be connected to the grid with "professional operation and maintenance services" as a prerequisite. This directly drives the annual procurement demand. At the same time, technological innovation drives an efficiency revolution: unmanned aerial vehicle inspection will increase efficiency by 10 times, AI fault prediction reaches 85%, and the penetration rate of intelligent operation and maintenance will reach 30% in 2025, significantly reducing labor costs and optimizing power generation efficiency. Additionally, the power market reform prompts the operation and maintenance services to upgrade from basic maintenance to value-added areas, such as peak electricity price scheduling, carbon asset management, and green certificate trading, further expanding the profit space.
Challenges and future directions:
The core challenges faced by the photovoltaic operation and maintenance industry lie in talent shortage, high cost pressure, and technological iteration risks. The cost of operation and maintenance is over 60% human labor, and the shortage of professional talents leads to varying service quality, especially for distributed projects due to the scattered sites (loss rate 8%-15%), which increases the difficulty of regional operation and maintenance. Rapid technological updates force enterprises to continuously invest in research and development, and small and medium-sized enterprises face the double pressure of high costs for intelligent upgrades and overseas trade barriers. The future direction will focus on technology integration and service ecosystem reconstruction: through 5G + edge computing to achieve millisecond-level fault response, combined with digital twin technology to simulate and optimize operation and maintenance strategies, and extend to multi-energy collaborative management of "photovoltaic + energy storage + charging piles"; the business model will shift to "data-driven", relying on big data analysis to provide services such as power generation insurance, power trading strategies, etc., to build differentiated competitiveness. Under the accelerated industry consolidation, enterprises with full-chain ecosystem integration capabilities will dominate the market, and standardization construction and cross-border talent cultivation become the key to breakthrough.
