Abstract: A method of installing and managing a solar module array includes determining a desired output capacity of the array, providing a first number of solar modules to generate electrical power at the desired output capacity, installing the first number of solar modules as the array at a plant site, and operating the array to generate electrical power. The array is monitored for an event that triggers providing a second number of the solar modules as recharge modules to compensate for degradation of the desired output capacity based upon at least one of a predetermined percentage of degradation and a predetermined period of operation. The array is monitored for the event over a monitoring period less than the operating life of the array to trigger further provision of the recharge modules as needed.
