Revolutionizing Solar O&M: Ethical Power’s Proactive & Tech-Driven Approach

Ethical Power is redefining the landscape of solar operations and maintenance (O&M) by blending real-time monitoring, proactive repowering, and innovative remote management. Head of O&M Sam Wookey shares how the company’s global strategy and advanced tech are driving performance optimization across continents.

Why O&M Needs to Evolve Traditional O&M often ends at fault response, but Ethical Power expands the role to include:

  • Proactive maintenance and predictive fault detection.
  • Performance optimization, not just system monitoring.
  • Real-time data monitoring with human oversight to catch issues instantly.

Strategic Global Deployment & Remote Monitoring From the UK to New Zealand, Ethical Power’s 24/7 control room supports:

  • Round-the-clock SCADA monitoring for utility-scale farms like Lodestone Energy’s sites.
  • Adaptive operations across different grid environments, enabling dynamic response to local power requests.
  • Remote inverter shutdowns, system diagnostics, and data-driven adjustments that reduce downtime and engineer visits.

Technology-Driven Optimization Ethical Power’s tech arsenal includes:

  • Real-time data analysis from up to a million data points per hour.
  • Drone thermography for pinpoint diagnostics.
  • Remote interventions that support battery system management and in-field engineering.

Repowering for Performance Gains With aging solar assets facing diminishing returns, Ethical Power specializes in repowering:

  • Southdown Marina Solar Park saw a 42% performance ratio boost by replacing outdated inverters and upgrading electrical infrastructure.
  • Custom equipment solutions, cable rerouting, and updated protections support sustained improvements.

Future-Ready O&M Expansion Ethical Power is scaling globally with:

  • Upgraded control room capabilities to support international clients.
  • Integrated service offerings that span from land negotiation to grid connection.
  • Seamless project handovers thanks to in-house expertise across the solar value chain.

By combining experience, technology, and a customer-first mindset, Ethical Power ensures solar projects stay secure, optimized, and ahead of the curve.
