Solar Panels

Overview

Solar powered plants are an importantly growing source of renewable energy and are continuing to play a key role in the production of clean electricity in the future.
Solar powered plants companies are being built, engineered and operated at unprecedented scale. Their performance is based on their capability to increase energy production, maximize revenue and reduce operational cost from their assets.

Need

It is essential to perform inspections on Solar powered plants in order to maintain their optimal energy production performance and extend their lifespan when using them to generate sun-powered energy. Asset owners, Operations and maintenance vendors and EPCs depend on these inspections to get an in-depth understanding of the asset condition and provide maintenance in a mannerly timeframe to ensure smooth operations and profitability.
Inspecting solar plants today takes long hours and requires several field personnel to be on site. Inspections are critical to identifying visible damage or defects, confirming that equipment is installed correctly and the site is in working condition and producing energy.
