UL Solutions, will be installing (2) Solar Monitoring Stations (SMS) near Grapevine & Orion, AR on behalf of one of our Clients. Each SMS occupies a footprint of roughly 700ft2, consists of a few solar panels, (2) 7-foot tripods, and various scientific measurement equipment surrounded by fencing. Each SMS will be monitoring irradiance, aka sunshine data, as well as other meteorological and weather-related parameters.
Each station requires weekly maintenance, on the same day each week during daylight hours to ensure consistent and accurate data is being collected for approximately 8 months. Your duties will include the following:
1. Uphold highest level of communication as first point of contact for equipment in field;
2. Ensure all equipment is level & clean on a weekly basis;
3. Provide troubleshooting (w/support from UL Solutions) and when requested, repair(s) for low-medium complexity issues;
4. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the system (depending on site/region, grass cutting, snow removal, or clearing brush); and
5. Confirm the system is secure and hasn’t been tampered with.
Each maintenance visit should take no more than 60-90 minutes. UL Solutions requires weekly digital logbook entries via internet along with photo uploads and other documentation to support the visit which should take 45-90 minutes. The entire process is estimated to require between 2-4 hours each week, including travel time to and from site.
Occasionally, UL Solutions may request your assistance in replacing or troubleshooting equipment. A Senior Engineer would contact you to walk you through the process. They will support you while onsite and review data after the equipment repair.
