SolarCare Commissioning Support
SolarCare provides commissioning support services to confirm solar assets are installed correctly, operating as intended, and ready for long-term performance. Our commissioning approach is built for New York field realities—tight schedules, variable terrain, and the need for clear documentation that owners, EPCs, and inspectors can rely on.
Our Commissioning Workflow:
Plan → Verify → Document → Resolve → Closeout
This process ensures systems are checked systematically, issues are captured clearly, and corrective actions are confirmed before final acceptance.
What Commissioning Covers
SolarCare commissioning support is focused on confirming the site is ready to operate safely and reliably.
Pre-Commissioning Readiness Review
Services Include:
- Verification that the site is ready for functional checks and turnover
- Review of visible field conditions that commonly delay commissioning
- Identification of open items that create repeat failures after COD
Deliverables:
- Pre-commissioning readiness checklist
- Punch list items prioritized by impact (Critical / High / Routine)
- Photo documentation tied to site locations
Field Verification & Quality Confirmation
Services Include:
- Confirmation of installation quality indicators in the field
- Verification of workmanship issues that typically become post-COD failures
- Identification of damage, missing items, or incomplete closeout conditions
Deliverables:
- Field verification report
- Location-based findings register
- Photo log supporting corrective action planning
Electrical Commissioning Support
Services Include:
- Support for electrical verification activities (scope dependent)
- Identification of visible electrical defects, wire management issues, and grounding concerns
- Troubleshooting support to isolate issues preventing successful turnover
Deliverables:
- Electrical commissioning support notes and findings
- Corrective action recommendations and sequencing
- Closeout verification notes after corrections
Mechanical / Structural Commissioning Support
Services Include:
- Review of mechanical/structural readiness indicators (where applicable)
- Identification of hardware, alignment, and field conditions affecting operability
- Verification support for conditions that typically become long-term reliability issues
Deliverables:
- Mechanical/structural findings summary
- Corrective action recommendations
- Verification closeout notes
Documentation & Turnover Support
Services Include:
- Clean, decision-ready turnover documentation so owners can accept the asset with confidence
- Commissioning findings register with priorities
- Photo package tied to locations
- Closeout tracking (Open / In Progress / Closed)
- Final summary for turnover readiness
Deliverables:
- Complete turnover package
- Executive summary with recommendations
- Verification and closeout documentation
Commissioning Closeout Tracker
Clear closeout tracking so owners can see progress at a glance and prevent open items from slipping through turnover
Tracker Status Categories
Open
Item identified, not yet addressed
In Progress
Repair/correction underway or scheduled
Pending Verification
Correction completed; awaiting SolarCare confirmation
Closed
Verified complete with documentation
Deferred
Not corrected now; documented and scheduled for later action (owner-approved)
What the Tracker Includes
- Item ID number and category (Electrical / Mechanical / Civil / Security / Vegetation)
- Severity level (Critical / High / Routine)
- Exact location reference (row/area/equipment tag where applicable)
- Photo reference numbers tied to the report package
- Corrective action notes and responsibility (if defined)
- Date opened, date updated, and closeout date
- Verification notes confirming closure
Why This Matters
This tracker prevents items from getting lost during schedule pressure and ensures commissioning ends with real closeout—not assumptions.
Common Commissioning Issues We Help Resolve
- Incomplete or inconsistent workmanship leading to repeat faults
- Grounding integrity concerns affecting safety and reliability
- Fence/security issues that create immediate site risk
- Wire management defects that escalate into failures after COD
- Access, drainage, and civil conditions impacting long-term operability
- Installation damage that requires documentation for responsibility and warranty

Why This Package Matters
A turnover package isn't paperwork—it's protection. SolarCare's format gives owners a defensible record of site condition, supports commissioning closeout accountability, and helps confirm warranty-related issues with clear, date-stamped documentation.
