Renewable Energy and Electric Mobility
Solar panels on the roof and charging stations on company premises: businesses are investing heavily in renewable energy and electric mobility. At the same time, these applications place new demands on the electrical installation. Before you put a new installation into service, an inspection is required. Normec assesses whether the installation has been carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. This gives you a clear starting point for commissioning.
Inspecting Charging Stations for Safe Electric Charging
For a charging station or charging point, an additional circuit is connected to your electrical system. This isn’t just about the charging station itself—the connection and safety measures must also be correct. Among other things, our inspectors verify that the charging station is connected in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. We also assess whether the new circuit is equipped with the proper ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Inspecting Solar Panels Before Commissioning
Solar panels generate direct current (DC). An inverter converts this energy into alternating current (AC) for use within your business. Proper operation therefore begins with an installation that has been technically executed correctly. Normec inspects the installation before you put it into service. After the inspection, you’ll receive a digital inspection report. You must submit a copy of this report to your grid operator.
An inspection by Normec provides you with:
- Clarity regarding the design and installation of your electrical system
- Verification of relevant connections and safety devices
- Insight into any areas requiring attention
- A digital report of the inspection performed
- An independent assessment by an expert inspection agency
Independent expertise
When it comes to electrical installations, you don’t want assumptions—you want clarity. Our inspectors assess what they find and clearly document their findings. That way, you know what’s in order and where action may be needed. Normec doesn’t approach this from the perspective of the supplier or installer, but rather from the requirements set for the installation. Meticulous where necessary, clear where possible.
Focus on electrical safety
The energy transition is becoming increasingly visible across more and more business sectors. Companies are generating their own electricity, electrifying their vehicle fleets, and expanding their charging infrastructure. Electrical installations are growing alongside these developments. This makes regular attention to electrical safety increasingly important.
Normec helps you commission new installations responsibly—not only today, but also with a view to the further electrification of your organization.
