Big difference in number of workers.. Only 3 full time when operational?
- lolsal 3y agoI imagine daily maintenance won’t be much and they’ll probably hire out to contractors for significant repairs/additions
- quickthrowman 3y agoI would guess that most solar fields have 0 full time field operations staff. There’s not much day-to-day maintenance. Everything can be monitored remotely and maintenance workers or contractors can be dispatched when problems arise. There aren’t any moving parts (unless you have fancy tilting panels), it’s a bunch of PV panels attached to metal racking, with wires going back to the monitoring equipment and distribution switchgear.
