Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an application that supports a user in the maintenance of small photovoltaic device. To this end, this study analyzed the maintenance status, related regulations and existing application contents in Korea. According to the analysis results, most users did not maintain device for themselves. In addition, the maintenance market has not been activated due to its low profitability. Regulations on the maintenance of photovoltaic device prescribed by the KESCO and Japanese counterpart were analyzed to establish the standards for photovoltaic device inspection, and an application was developed based on the existing applications and research results. In order to evaluate the completeness and satisfaction of the developed application, it surveyed 52 users and 22 experts. The survey results showed that the completeness was calculated to be 90 points, and the level of satisfaction was 93 points on a 100-point scale. Therefore, it is expected that the maintenance application developed in this study will be useful for users to maintain the photovoltaic device.
