Abstract This study proposes a novel visual maintenance method for photovoltaic (PV) modules based on a two-stage Wiener degradation model, addressing the limitations of traditional PV maintenance strategies that often result in insufficient or excessive maintenance. The approach begins by constructing a two-stage Wiener process performance degradation model and a remaining life prediction model under perfect maintenance conditions using historical degradation data of PV modules. This enables accurate determination of the optimal timing for post-failure corrective maintenance. To optimize the maintenance strategy, the study establishes a comprehensive cost model aimed at minimizing the long-term average cost… More >
