Abstract
With the government's support using new and renewable energy, photovoltaic equipment has been rapidly supplied. However, compared to supply rate, maintenance has not supported enough and relevant research has not much conducted. Even though large power plant facilities have been maintained well, small equipment for detached houses has been rarely maintained. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze maintenance effectiveness of photovoltaic equipment for detached houses. It was analyzed that photovoltaic equipments were merely maintained. What is the most important in maintenance effectiveness is increase of power generation. It was estimated that if photovoltaic equipment for detached houses is maintained well, power generation increases by 6.5% at least. That produces the same effect as the additional supply of photovoltaic equipment to 9,700 households. As a result, it is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the government's budget investment through well maintenance of photovoltaic equipments.
