The article presents the importance of renewable energy in reducing the potential dangers of global warming and climate crises in the context of increase in global energy comp Sumption that will lead to increase of emission of greenhouse gases. to and of the maintenance in solar energy systems. The operation and maintenance activities of photovoltaic systems represent aspects not to be neglected for obtaining the profitability of investments and ensuring their viability and reliability. Currently, the procedures applied mainly refer to simple techniques such as visual inspection and scheduled maintenance strategies. Also, the types of faults that can may appear in photovoltaic panels and the ones can be detected by thermography (single hot spot, multiple hot spots, activation of the bypass diode and a higher temperature of the junction box) are presented with their characteristics and severity. In the last part of the article a thermal imaging processing software based on artificial intelligence technology is proposed for use for the preventive maintenance, in order to detect the photovoltaic(solar) panels with faults to be repaired or changed to increase the efference of the system. The Software will be use to develop an innovative maintenance and repair curricula for the departments related to solar energy in vocational and technical education schools in order to better predict and prevent malfunctions in solar energy systems.

European companies’ competitiveness depends on obtaining innovative products. In the last years, clients demand started to be higher and more complex. Because of that, managing products development processes have become a necessity. Product development processes need to be proficient and flexible: less complex and more competence-focused. 3DSpace brings more solutions in this matter. EXALEAD transforms large volumes of heterogeneous, multi-source data into real-time information intelligence to help users improve business processes and gain competitive advantage. EXALEAD enables organizations to gather and enrich Big Data to deliver that information in the process of integrated product development and allows customers to fully manage product programs, from 3D design to traceability of changes, cost, quality and issue analytics. Concurrent or Simultaneous Engineering is one of the fundamental approaches that meet the challenges mentioned above. EXALEAD uses CloudView to process big data flows. Concurrent Engineering represents a standardized approach to integrated product improvement which accentuates and gives priority to the customer expectations level. In this matter, 3DSpace’s ENOVIA is used together with graphic software for manufacturing. It is about teamwork and confidence in which the decision-making process is consensual, even from the beginning of the product life cycle.
