Operation and maintenance
of your photovoltaic system

Solar cells are virtually maintenance-free, but to keep your system performing at its best year after year, it's good to have an overhaul to make sure everything is working properly and producing efficiently throughout its lifecycle.

A solar PV system is basically self-sufficient, but it is not completely maintenance-free. Your system needs to be checked from time to time and minor measures need to be taken to ensure that it functions and produces optimally - solar cells have to put up with a lot of stress from wind, rain and snow. As a system owner, you are responsible for checking your electrical system in accordance with the Swedish Electrical Safety Authority's regulations. This also includes the photovoltaic system.

The Electrical Safety Authority (2022) recommends that you regularly maintain and service your installation.

All types of energy installations need regular inspection and maintenance to ensure efficient and safe operation. By letting us take care of the operation and maintenance of your solar energy system - including battery storage - you can rest assured that your system will always perform as it should and that any problems will be fixed in time. Regular maintenance also helps to extend the economic life of your system

To maximize the return on your investment, we offer O&M services that include annual maintenance, alarm analysis and thermographic troubleshooting. Our O&M contracts are customized to your needs and ensure optimal profitability throughout the life of your facility. Market-leading 24/7 monitoring and continuous training of our staff ensure safe and reliable operation. The annual cost of operation and maintenance compared to the cost of production downtime generally pays for itself in just a few days, depending on the size of the plant.

Regular preventive maintenance is also required to maintain warranties on the plant and can also affect any insurance claims.

Effective solar monitoring with thermal imaging drones

A drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera is an unbeatably efficient way to inspect a solar energy installation. The thermal imaging camera provides a quick overall picture and makes it easy to detect faults and deficiencies in panels that are difficult to find during a manual inspection. The larger the installation, the more affordable the method is.

Detection of problem areas Our thermal imaging camera is equipped with thermal technology that can detect deviations in temperature between panels to detect so-called hotspots, cracks, failing MC4 connectors or other damage that negatively affects the yield of the panels. With regular checks, problems can be identified before they become expensive to fix. We provide you with reports and images from the inspections, giving you a full overview of the condition of the installation.
