Baseline Testing Services
SRS Solar will review your commercial solar—its design and installation—to ensure its quality. We will check to see if it meets the specifications of the original project, whether it’s generating the specified amount of power, and otherwise check the system’s health and performance.
Data collected from this process will allow us to compare your system’s performance at any point going forward against this baseline information and respond appropriately.
When results indicate a need for maintenance or repairs, we’ll proactively address this cost effectively. If results show that the solar system is operating at maximum capacity, this will provide you and your company with peace of mind.

Proactive Solar Maintenance
Overall, commercial solar systems require low levels of maintenance, such as cleaning solar panels. It’s important to address any small issues that arise, though, so repairs can occur when they’re at their most cost effective. This is no different, really, from your company’s plumbing system or HVAC. Studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of solar systems perform largely as expected (with more than half having the potential of performing even better than anticipated) when solar owners carefully monitor their systems and then make timely repairs.

Ongoing Monitoring
Baseline testing is just the beginning of our commercial solar O&M services. We will then continue to monitor your system’s operations, comparing results to baseline data and responding appropriately. Data about your system’s energy generation, energy consumption and more is sent to the cloud where it can be analyzed and stored.
We can analyze this data for your company, reviewing it at a high level as well as in multiple granular ways—then make targeted recommendations, when needed, to optimize energy use.

Best Practices for Commercial Solar O&M:
The US Department of Energy provides best practices for solar planning, installation, maintenance, and repairs—and we at SRS Solar adhere to each of them. Overall, they include:
- Proactive plan: It’s crucial to carefully craft one and then use it as a blueprint throughout the solar system’s lifecycle; when tweaks need to be made to the plan in response to a situation, these also need careful consideration.
- Continuous improvement model: This involves creating key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on reducing costs, optimizing performance, and creating backup plans.
- Unexpected downtime: A plan will be proactively made to seamlessly transition into for continuing power.
Technological advances: Because businesses can typically rely upon the same solar system for decades, it’s normal for new technologies to continue to emerge during your system’s lifecycle; these can be strategically incorporated to maximize your system.
Commercial Solar O&M Services
Besides offering solar O&M services for individual homeowners, our SRS Solar team also offers them to solar companies who want to enhance their client offerings, as well as to finance company and utilities. Solar finance companies are often dependent on solar contractors to provide perpetual service and troubleshooting. When an energy system fails or underperforms, customers are left with the unexpected costs of higher utility bills and system repairs in addition to their loan payments. When this occurs, late or suspended payments, and even default becomes more likely.
