Technical Inspections of PV Systems
We check your solar plant before, during & also after contruction!
According to your necessities we offer various kinds of inspections:
Progress monitoring
Technical inspection after commissioning
After construction and successful commissioning of a solar park, we inspect the building work as for compliance with the contract and the quality of execution. We also confirm that applicable norms, safety regulations and statutory requirements have been observed. A list of several hundred items describes the state of the system in detail and identifies all existing shortcomings. This is an important part of any system acceptance test.
Final acceptance process
We inspect your system for major defects and release the work for acceptance from the technical angle. Unless the final acceptance process is described in the EPC contract (which is recommended), the decision is based on many years of experience and on agreement with the client.
Thermographic check
The solar modules account for about half the value of the whole system. Therefore, if the modules have a serial defect, a large part of the investment may be at the risk of being lost. Internal module damage is not normally visible to the naked eye. A thermographic examination reliably reveals to the experienced technician different types of defect in a module and their effects on the performance of the system. We perform thermographic checks with a very high-resolution system and by trained and experienced personnel.
DGUV safety check
In a legal context, a solar park is an electrical operating area / plant and as such it is subject to the statutory requirements of operational reliability. The DGUV regulations of the employers’ mutual liability insurance association lay down the requirements of the safety check and the required qualifications. Besides, repeat checks are prescribed by law. Normally, solar systems are checked under DGUV in four-yearly intervals.
We assess the system design of your solar park, check the start-up documentation and perform the equipment safety check required according to DGUV.
Damage report
Mobile PV-Laboratory
In collaboration with our partner PV Lab we offer the mobile PV test laboratory.
With this laboratory, we can carry out high-tech measurements on solar modules directly at your PV array, your construction site or on receipt of modules. We can take measurements and detect unnoticed damage before the system is connected to the grid or during system maintenance.
