In-Service Inspections for Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants

implement regular checks of PV power plant status, operational availability and reliability

In-service inspections assist owners, operators and investors to optimize shutdown periods to increase power production and ensure financial stability. In-service inspections are necessary to ensure that your assets deliver the expected power output and meet the planned return on investment of the project. They also help you to meet regulatory requirements for mandatory inspections. The timely recognition of repair and maintenance needs will minimize costs, ease constraints on public funds and significantly extend the life of your PV power plant.

TÜV SÜD provides regular inspections, performance verification and preventive failure analyses to help you maximize productivity, reduce costly downtime and meet regulatory requirements.
