Over the past decade, solar photovoltaic technology has evolved from a niche market to becoming the world's leading clean energy source. As installations scale, operators face rising costs, technician shortages and complex monitoring demands. With the O&M market projected to reach $9.48B by 2025, the employers report workforce gaps and over half seek cost reductions. Yet, fewer than 1% of systems have real-time monitoring in place. To meet these challenges, the industry must embrace predictive maintenance and smarter infrastructure enabled by easy to install and maintain, long-range communication technologies like LoRa®.
