Solar panel inspection and maintenance.

Yes. After the preventive assessment, you receive a clear report with our findings and recommendations. It sets out exactly which steps are needed to keep your installation performing well and safely, and whether corrective maintenance is advisable.

Yes. If the inspection or thermal imaging reveals defects, we don’t stop at a report. We tackle the identified problems in a targeted way, from loose cabling to damaged components, so you don’t have to look for another contractor.

Using thermal imaging cameras, mounted on a drone or handheld, we visualise temperature differences in your panels. This lets us detect hotspots, defective cells and soiling that you can’t see with the naked eye. It prevents yield loss and dangerous situations in the long run.

Most experts recommend a check at least every two years. In areas with a lot of dust, salt or heavy industry, or after extreme weather such as storms and hail, an annual inspection may be advisable. Together, we draw up a tailored plan based on the age, location and risks of your installation.

Preventive maintenance is the inspection and thermal imaging we use to assess the condition of your installation and detect problems early. Corrective maintenance only follows if defects come to light: we then carry out the necessary repairs. That way, we only step in where it’s really needed.

Dirt distorts thermal and electrical measurements and can mask real defects. That’s why the rule is: clean first, then measure, then decide. Clean panels are a prerequisite for a reliable inspection, so you don’t draw the wrong conclusions about the actual condition of your installation.

Yes. Solarco provides professional maintenance and cleaning for commercial roofs, farms, industrial installations and solar parks, with cleaning robots for large surfaces. We combine cleaning with thermal imaging inspection and vegetation management, and we are VCA certified. For recurring maintenance, we draw up a tailored contract.

After 5 to 10 years, we often see ageing cabling and connectors, loose clamps and profiles, and microcracks, delamination and hotspots in the modules. Left untreated, these lead to structural yield loss, recurring inverter faults and a higher fire and safety risk. A combination of visual, thermal and electrical checks detects them in time.

Maintenance includes a visual inspection for damage, loose cabling, broken clamps and hotspots, supplemented by measurements and tests of the inverter and yield data, among other things. Vegetation management, such as mowing between the panel rows, is also part of the service. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan, improves safety and helps you keep the manufacturer’s warranty.

Even a little shade can noticeably reduce yield, so vegetation around and between the panels cuts your output. Overgrowth also hinders access for maintenance and can increase the risk of fire and damage. That’s why Solarco keeps grass and weeds short, in an ecologically responsible way and with a report after every visit.
