Expert Corrosion Monitoring & Assessment for Solar Power Plants

Safeguard uptime, safety, and lifecycle value

Corrosion threatens energy yield, increases maintenance, and introduces electrical and fire hazards in solar plants. Using corrosion-resistant materials, coatings, and scheduled inspections helps reduce downtime and maximize ROI over the plant lifecycle.

Exposure + mixed metals = accelerated risk

Solar infrastructure—frames, supports, fasteners, conductors, and grounding—operates outdoors under UV, salt-laden air, dust, and moisture. Without proactive protection, degradation accelerates and jeopardizes performance and safety.

Damages resulting from corrosion loss

The costs of corrosion

Industry estimates indicate corrosion costs power generation billions annually—driven by maintenance, replacements, productivity loss, delays, and litigation—highlighting the importance of prevention in solar assets.

Comprehensive protection program

Assessment & monitoring workflow

Our process applies industry-leading NACE practices: survey environment and structures, select compatible prevention solutions (materials/coatings/cathodic protection where applicable), and implement a monitoring plan including LPR to track corrosion rates over time.

Extending life of corroded module mounts

After seven years in service, ~30% of 3,600 module mounts were severely corroded—threatening mechanical integrity. Root causes included underspecified galvanizing, overlooked chloride exposure, and inadequate procurement evaluation; many concrete piles had cracked with heavily corroded steel. We identified key factors, specified suitable coatings, and set an inspection plan to recover the intended 25-year life.
