  • Gain full visibility of system health using advanced drone inspections in line with IEC 62446-3.

Our Service Along the Solar Energy Life Cycle

Solar energy projects demand precise planning, technical excellence and a forward-looking approach at every stage of their life cycle. We support investors, project managers, EHS professionals and procurement specialists by delivering independent services that accompany your project from the first site assessment to end of life, offering reliable support wherever your project stands today.
DEKRA provides comprehensive solar site assessments, soil analyses, and meteorological data evaluations to determine the technical and economic viability of your project. Our expert evaluations offer the transparency and data you need to make informed investment decisions and meet regulatory requirements early on.
Our technical experts review your structural designs, assess roof and framework stability and provide advisory services on component selection. With a clear focus on safety, quality and long-term performance, we help you minimize construction risks and meet national and international standards from the outset.
During procurement and construction, we support you with vendor due diligence, conformity inspections and on-site quality checks. We verify component quality, monitor construction practices and inspect installations to help secure supply chain transparency, maintain safety standards and minimize project delays.
Before your system goes live, our experts perform electrical safety inspections, lightning protection checks and IR thermography surveys to detect hidden faults. Our commissioning services ensure that your installation meets performance, quality and safety requirements — protecting your investment and enabling smooth operation from day one.
Throughout the operational phase, we offer continuous monitoring support, regular inspections and drone-based PV system diagnostics (IEC TS 62446-3). We help operators maintain asset integrity, identify and correct technical weaknesses early and ensure compliance with evolving safety standards, safeguarding energy output and operational profitability.
When installations reach the end of their design life or need upgrading, our experts assist with regulatory audits, safety inspections and waste management evaluations. We ensure that decommissioning activities comply with environmental regulations, minimize risks and create a foundation for smooth repowering or site transformation.
At the end of a solar system’s life, we offer thorough system health inspections, post-decommissioning assessments and environmental compliance checks. Our services support you in maximizing material recovery, reducing liability risks and enabling responsible recycling or disposal, fully aligned with sustainability goals.
