Initial situation and requirements
The client, one of the leading German suppliers of large photovoltaic systems, has a number of solar projects in Germany and abroad in France, Japan and Turkey. We have provided consultation and inspection services for solar projects for them in the past. This most recent endeavor was the pioneering, multi-megawatt project in Isparta, Turkey.
Specialists from TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH carried out several necessary inspections. Our team conducted energy yield predictions, as well as specification checks of power measurements and quality assurance tests in our solar test center in Cologne, Germany.
Solutions, results
Construction supervision and final technical inspection are required for the safe installation and operation of photovoltaic solar systems. In the inspection process, we conducted a detailed evaluation of technical aspects of the photovoltaic solar systems and documented results to increase quality assurance and transparency on the project.
The cooperation between TÜV Rheinland and the client enabled our experts to preform quality management tests and ultimately confirm the fulfillment of technical and contractual requirements. The client has praised TÜV Rheinland as a first-class certified specialist for the maintenance of solar power systems. As a satisfied customer, they have called on us again for their inspection service needs.
