Commissioning and Field Services for MW scale solar projects.
SolVerra Energy supports EPCs, developers, and asset owners with commissioning, testing, and technical work across utility and commercial scale solar assets. Our team brings hands-on experience across hundreds of megawatts, with a focus on safety, accuracy, and clean turnover to COD.
Support from energization through COD.
We work as an extension of your project team, supporting everything from pre-commissioning and hot commissioning to inverter validation, SCADA/DAS integration, and performance checks required by utilities, PPAs, and ISO/RTOs.
Pre-Commissioning and Hot Commissioning
Field verification of DC and AC wiring, inverter inputs, protection settings, and system readiness, followed by staged energization and hot commissioning under real operating conditions.
String and combiner checks • Inverter validation • Transformer and MV interface
QA/QC and Performance Testing
Functional testing and documentation to confirm system behavior matches design intent and contract requirements, including power, protection, and performance checks.
Functional tests • Protection checks • Performance snapshots
SCADA, DAS and Grid Integration
Support for SCADA/DAS point validation, alarms, and communication paths, helping you reach utility, ISO/RTO, and owner requirements for visibility and control.
Data mapping • Signal checks • Operational readiness
A structured commissioning approach aligned with your schedule.
Our process is tailored to your site schedule and utility requirements, with clear communication to construction, engineering, and operations teams at every step.
-
1Scope review and test plan alignmentWe review drawings, test procedures, and contract requirements to align on scope, responsibilities, and documentation needs before arriving on site.
-
2Pre-commissioning checksVerification of installed equipment, labeling, torque, polarity, terminations, and inverter readiness, working closely with construction teams.
-
3Energization and hot commissioningControlled energization of transformers and inverters, capturing key parameters and resolving issues before formal performance testing begins.
-
4Utility and grid testing supportSupport for required utility or ISO/RTO tests, including power factor, ramp rates, curtailment, and other contract-driven scenarios.
-
5Punch list and documentationDetailed punch list items, test records, and handover documentation that help close out EPC obligations and support long-term O&M.
-
6Support after CODAs needed, we can assist owners and O&M teams with early-life troubleshooting, warranty coordination, and performance reviews.
A partner for EPCs, developers and asset owners.
SolVerra Energy integrates into your existing team structure — acting as commissioning lead, owner’s representative, or dedicated site resource to help move projects smoothly toward COD and beyond.
- EPCs needing experienced commissioning and testing support
- Developers moving sites from construction into operation
- Asset owners preparing for handover to long-term O&M teams
- Utilities and co-ops requiring clear, documented test results
Typical utility scale scope snapshot
A sample scope for a 50–100 MW site may include:
- String and combiner verification and field checks
- Inverter startup, protection review and settings confirmation
- MV transformer and switchgear functional checks
- SCADA/DAS point-to-point validation support
- Support for PPA and interconnection performance tests
Actual scope is tailored to your project, OEM requirements, and contract documents.
Technical discipline and project-friendly communication.
We understand both the technical and practical realities of bringing large solar assets online — tight timelines, changing conditions, and the need to keep all stakeholders aligned.
Hands-on field experience
Real commissioning and troubleshooting experience on large MW sites, not just desk-based familiarity with procedures.
Safety-first execution
Work practices aligned with site safety plans, LOTO procedures, and electrical safety standards, integrated into your existing culture.
Clear documentation and reporting
Test records, punch lists, and summaries that help close contracts, support warranty claims, and give owners confidence in the asset.
