As PV power plant owners seek to maximise the power generation of their assets over time, revamping and repowering are coming to the fore as vital processes for squeezing the maximum potential out of a site. Both involve the replacement of parts and processes at a solar plant to improve its electricity output, but the key difference is that revamping aims to return an ageing plant to its original capacity, while repowering seeks to build on the original asset’s capacity and extend its lifetime.
According to Tomaso Charlemont, European head of revamping and repowering for the German developer BayWa r.e., more efficient components as part of the revamping process could improve a project’s electricity yield by as much as 40% and make a project’s land use more efficient by as much as 50%. As a result, Charlemont foresees a “huge wave” of interest in revamping and repowering on its way as plant owners seek to maximise revenues from their assets.
