Solar Fields Inspection Services

Globally we strive to generate energy in a sustainable way. The amount of solar (photovoltaic) PV plants has increased enormously in recent years, enabling energy providers to offer their customers cleaner alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.

Solar PV plants should meet their performance expectations in a safe and reliable way, as well as respecting their natural environment. Kiwa can support you by assessing your PV plant with our solar field inspection services.

Nature inclusive solar parks (NISP)

As stated: solar parks are popping up en masse. On the one hand this is a good development because of the necessary energy transition, but on the other hand the impact on biodiversity is often forgotten. That is why it is important to keep the delicate ecosystems on top of mind when one builds a new solar field. That is where Kiwa’s NISP services kick-in By constructing a Nature Inclusive Solar Park (NISP), sustainable energy is generated while biodiversity remains intact. Companies who successfully run through the certification trajectory can demonstrate with their NISP certificate the construction of their solar park is responsible and truly sustainable.
