This paper is written to fill a void created by lack of knowledge in conducting annual operation and maintenance appraisal and its importance in PV solar power plants. Operation and Maintenance(O&M) appraisal plays a vital role in maintaining the predicted energy yield, by evaluating the existing maintenance methodologies and proposing the remedial preventive maintenance plan to increase the life span of the plant. However, it is often seen that due to budgetary constraints, lack of knowledge of performing the evaluation, annual O&M appraisal are not undertaken.
