Commissioning is a critical phase of any solar project, as it serves as the final verification process before a site is energized and handed over to the owner. A comprehensive commissioning process verifies that the project meets design specifications, safety requirements, and performance expectations.

An O&M plan that covers routine inspection and maintenance, especially of the most common failure points in a system, is guaranteed to optimize performance, safety, and longevity of any solar asset.

Skipping third-party commissioning isn’t saving money — it’s gambling with long-term system performance and health, which in turn could mean millions of dollars over the solar asset’s lifespan.

We recently partnered with pv magazine USA to share our perspective on a critical topic in the industry - Why some solar projects stand the test of time, and others fail well before their 25+ year projected lifespan:
