Commissioning and acceptance inspection

Accepting a plant means accepting a promise that runs for twenty-five years. Before acceptance we measure the plant to international standards and record every deviation with its evidence.

Within the TÜRKAK accreditation scope · AB-0649-M · IEC 62446-1

Acceptance is given on measurement.

At provisional acceptance the works pass from the contractor to the owner, and every defect found afterwards is settled by arguing over whose responsibility it is. Independent measurement before acceptance ends that argument before it starts: is the plant at its contracted power, are the cables sound, are the modules undamaged? The owner and the lender take the plant over on recorded measurement, not on the contractor's word.

What we deliver

  • An accredited inspection report

    Issued and signed to IEC 62446-1, within the TÜRKAK accreditation scope.

  • A record of the plant's first day

    Every string's IV curve, the thermal and EL images, insulation and earthing values. Every later check is measured against it.

  • A register of non-conformities

    Every deviation with its location, measurement and evidence, open or closed, in a form an acceptance decision can rest on.
