Service from a single source
Photovoltaics | Services for sustainable power plants
The sun provides the energy and we make sure that it can be fed to the grid reliably and efficiently: with an average service life of 20 years, during which they are exposed to weather and other environmental influences throughout all the seasons, photovoltaic plants require regular maintenance work to keep them efficient. We help our customers not only to increase their profitability but also to observe all the required legal obligations in relation to operating licences, safety at work and insurance cover.

Maintenance and inspection of solar plants | Every single module treated with care
With us, regular inspections such as DGUV Regulation 3 and all servicing intervals prescribed by the manufacturer are in good hands. Our technicians are well-versed in the legal standards and carry out all the required servicing work for frequency converters, control devices or transformers, from the visual inspection to assessment of the entire system. Private operators are also recommended to observe compliance with the standards, in order to ensure that their plants remain safe and that they can make valid insurance claims in the event of damage; failing to keep up with maintenance may void insurance cover. We have an eye for many things that are commonly neglected: cleaning work that becomes necessary in the course of the plant’s service life as the result of environmental influences and inspection of the attachment points, ladders, steps and step irons for roofing systems.
Repair of solar plants | So the sun can keep doing its work
When damage occurs, BWTS ensures that it is quickly repaired. Even for large solar facilities, we can quickly identify malfunctions using drones and infra-red cameras and take corresponding action. Intensive staff training keeps the response team up to date with technical developments and the team has access to spare parts from almost any manufacturer for rapid repairs – indispensable when every second counts.
Thermographic inspection of PV plants with drones – detect defects early on, secure yield
With a drone-assisted thermographic inspection of your photovoltaic plant, we can detect potential damage or power loss quickly, precisely and reliably – without any interruption to operations. Thanks to cutting-edge thermal imaging technology and the flexible use of drones, we can identify thermal irregularities such as overheating modules and defective cells that often go unnoticed with conventional methods.
What is a drone-based thermographic inspection?
In a thermographic inspection, we observe the temperature distribution of your solar panels from the air – using a high-resolution thermal imaging camera mounted to a professional drone. As flying over the plants makes everything easy to access, even hard-to-reach areas can be inspected fully and efficiently. Unusual temperature differences – referred to as ‘hotspots’ – are often a sign of defective cells, faulty cabling or installation defects. This visual analysis from a bird’s-eye view enables especially rapid, comprehensive and precise location of vulnerabilities.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Early detection of faults from the air
Drones are able to detect hotspots, damaged panels and installation defects reliably – before any major damage or loss or yield has occurred. - No interruption to operations
The inspection is performed while the plant is still in operation – without any downtime or disruptions. - Maximum efficiency and long service life
Targeted maintenance based on drone thermography enables better planning of repair work, minimises downtime and secures the long-term performance of your PV plant. - Perfect after extreme weather
After storms, hail or heat waves, drone-based thermography enables rapid inspection and assessment of any damage – even for large facilities.
Our service – fast, precise, straightforward
Whether it is part of your regular maintenance or for specific troubleshooting: our drone-based thermographic analysis offers maximum transparency and peace of mind – efficient, high-resolution and easy to implement.
Supply of temporary workers
To allow your operations to remain flexible, we can supply project-related temporary workers for seasonal fluctuations and peaks in demand: highly qualified personnel exactly when you need them. This crucial competitive advantage is mainly used by customers in the offshore sector, but it is suitable for all those behind the transition to alternative energy: our solution to the shortage in skilled workers!
We will gladly prepare an offer tailored to suit your specific needs or present you our extensive service portfolio.
We look forward to hearing from you directly!
We are certified
Recertification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015
New business areas (hydrogen, photovoltaics and electromobility) added to BWTS GmbH
In addition to its general growth, BWTS GmbH is also constantly expanding its service portfolio. This has now been underscored by this year’s recertification to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV Nord CERT GmbH. In addition to our main business area in the wind industry, the certificate now also contains the areas of hydrogen, electromobility and photovoltaics, and confirms our sustainable and professional development of skills in these business areas. Please contact us if you would like us to present our services in these industries.
