Photovoltaic panel torque test

Testing your solar panel is very important to ensure its quality and safety. If you care for solar panels properly, they can generate electricity for 25 years, but preventative maintenance is vital.

The Importance of Torque for PV System Longevity

Torque is a commonly used term in Solar PV system inspection, which refers to the act of tightening a mechanical fastener. The fastener can cover a wide array of details, not limited to attaching structural

Accurate torque values mean less time spent on O&M later

During racking and panel installation at large-scale solar projects, thousands and thousands of bolts must be fastened at just-the-right torque level to ensure the array stays together.

Solar Power and Solar Panel Installers

Our torque testers verify that the installers power tools are performing correctly, whilst our digital torque wrenches ensure that critical fasteners are properly tightened.
