Members of the working group have discussed these results and are currently recommending 0.5% for large systems and 1% of system initial cost per year for small systems as a reasonable expectation of PV system O&M costs. These heuristics inform an expectation of PV system O&M costs.
O&M focus for commercial and industrial PV is more on the performance of individual systems rather than fleets and meeting performance warranties.

The PV O&M plan should be considered within the context of the performance period required for a residential or commercial PV system to generate a sufficient return on investment (ROI). The PV O&M life cycle begins with planning and system design. The life cycle ends with provision for decommissioning or disposal of the system.
