Why is green maintenance for solar farms so important?

Solar farms are often located on large outdoor sites. This means that plants and weeds have free rein to grow. If the vegetation around or under the panels becomes too tall, it can lead to shadowing. Even a small amount of shade can cause a noticeable drop in efficiency. Moreover, overgrown panels can be more difficult to access for maintenance or repairs.

Green maintenance for solar parks ensures that your installation can continue to perform optimally. By timely mowing, pruning and other appropriate measures, you maintain a clean and easily accessible environment. This way, you not only increase the energy yield, but also the safety and lifespan of your solar farm.

How often is green maintenance needed?

The frequency required depends on the location, soil conditions and type of vegetation. In some areas, mowing once a year may be sufficient, while elsewhere several mowings per season may be required. Heavy rainfall and sunshine accelerate plant growth, which may require additional maintenance intervals.

At Solarco, we tailor maintenance intervals to the specific characteristics of your site. So you never pay too much for unnecessary turns, while your solar farm always remains in top condition. Whether it's a few hectares or a vast park, our team provides a tailor-made approach.

How do we proceed at Solarco?

Environmentally friendly management

We use ecologically responsible methods to minimise disturbance to nature and the ecosystem around your solar farm. These include electric or robot-controlled mowers and minimising the use of chemical pesticides. This way, we kill two birds with one stone: a clean set-up and preservation of local biodiversity.

Improve access to panels

Green maintenance is not just about cutting grass or weeding. We also make sure the paths between the rows of panels are kept clear. This allows our other teams-or your own technical service-easy access to the panels for checks, cleaning and repairs. An accessible set-up saves time and reduces the risk of damage or accidents.

Transparent reporting

After each maintenance service, we prepare a short report on the work carried out and the state of your grounds. Notice any specific challenges, such as invasive plant species or recurring weeds? Then we will give you tailor-made advice to solve this structurally. We are all about open communication and a long-term relationship.

Frequently asked questions about green maintenance for solar parks

In principle, it can be done, but it requires specialist knowledge, planning and resources. A professional team will save you time and ensure the quality of the work.

Most of the time, we don't. We try to keep chemicals to a minimum and opt for mechanical or biological solutions. In this way, we protect both your panels and the local flora and fauna.

After each maintenance service, you will receive a report with photos and any points of attention. This keeps you fully informed about the condition of your solar farm.
