Abstract
A system and method in which information relevant to a Photovoltaic (PV) solar-site specific activity environment is displayed on the display screen of an Augmented Reality (AR) device as part of the surrounding environment, instead of on a separate computing device or an installation manual. The activity environment includes PV solar site-specific survey and feasibility analysis, installation and commissioning, Operation and Maintenance (O&M), and site overhaul/removal activities. Thus, relevant information is available to an installer/technician at their fingertips so that the installer/technician can continue the task they are involved in without losing focus. The AR device may record relevant data during site survey and note important points, accelerate installation and commissioning, make O&M more efficient, and record the complete process for ongoing improvement/management of the site. Moreover, company-specific best practices may be loaded on the AR device as guidelines to make the process uniform across the entire fleet of installers.
