Providing third party independent installation testing & support
With large numbers of Solar PV installations being installed in a relatively short period time as the demand for green, cheap electricity is ever-growing, it is no wonder that some installations are handed over in sometimes less than perfect condition.
As solar PV service and maintenance engineers, we get to see many solar PV installations new and old, good and bad. Quite often relatively simple omissions in the installation of the system can result in costly remedial works further down the line.
These can be as simple as not providing the correct and accurate handover documentation to allow efficient maintenance, physical non-compliance, and poor designs leaving inefficient systems or systems that simply are not installed in line with the intended design. Most of the problems can easily and quickly be rectified or remedied at the installation phase with little to no cost whilst access equipment and installation staff remain on site. However, if left unchecked some of the faults can be very expensive to remedy due to their locations and can at times take years to show up or spot and in worst cases become a danger or fire risk.
Good handover and communication
“Good handover and communication of the details of the PV system (both in hard copy or read-only electronic and conveyable form), along with operational training and inductions, will aid system owners/stakeholders’ understanding of the PV system. This will allow early identification of any performance changes or unusual observations which may indicate that a more serious issue is imminent.”
