// RENEWABLE ENERGY & INSTALLATIONS

Connect every stage of installation, commissioning and asset handover.

Manage surveys, installations, field teams, contractors, evidence, commissioning, quality reviews and handovers through one connected operational platform. Validly gives operations teams visibility across every installation, gives field teams clear digital job information and creates a traceable record from initial site survey through to commissioned asset and ongoing service.

Renewable Energy hero
Coordinate every installation

Create structured jobs containing site information, instructions, documents, forms, checks and evidence requirements.

Capture installation evidence

Give engineers and installers a consistent way to record photographs, measurements, test results, notes and completion information.

Verify before handover

Review installation and commissioning records, resolve outstanding issues and maintain a complete history of what was delivered.

THE CHALLENGE

Renewable energy projects involve surveyors, designers, installers, electricians, subcontractors, project managers, quality teams and customers. Work may take place across hundreds or thousands of distributed sites, while information moves between office systems, spreadsheets, paper forms, emails, messaging applications and shared folders — creating operational gaps between initial survey and final handover.

Incomplete site surveys

When photographs, measurements, site conditions or technical information are incomplete, installation teams may arrive without the information they need.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Additional surveys, aborted visits and redesign work increase project cost and extend installation lead times.

Installers working from outdated information

Installation teams may rely on drawings, specifications, customer details and technical documents distributed through multiple systems, and changes made during planning may not always reach the field clearly.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Incorrect installation, missing equipment and avoidable site delays can increase rework and reduce installation capacity.

Limited visibility across distributed programmes

Without a connected operational view, it becomes difficult to understand what has been scheduled, started, delayed, completed or submitted for review.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Project teams spend time chasing updates, scheduling becomes harder and delayed installations may only become visible after milestones have already been missed.

Inconsistent installation evidence

Completed installations can require photographs, measurements, test records, signatures, equipment details and commissioning information, and different installers or subcontractors may capture this evidence differently.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Quality teams spend more time reviewing submissions, incomplete jobs are returned for correction and customer handovers can be delayed.

Defects identified too late

Quality issues may only be discovered when submitted evidence is reviewed after the installer has already left the site, often requiring another engineer visit to resolve.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Repeat visits increase cost per installation, reduce workforce capacity and delay project completion.

Difficult to standardise across contractors

Large installation programmes may depend on several regional installers, subcontractors or specialist service providers, each following different processes or submitting different levels of evidence.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Installation quality becomes inconsistent and operations teams spend more time checking whether work has been completed to the required standard.

Commissioning records assembled after the work

Installation photographs, test results, forms, certificates, signatures and approvals may be stored separately and brought together only when the project is ready for handover.

BUSINESS IMPACT
Project closure becomes administrative, handovers take longer and important asset information can be difficult to retrieve later.
HOW VALIDLY SOLVES IT

Three connected Validly products give renewable energy and installation teams one operational system connecting field work, evidence, commissioning and verification.

HOW IT'S USED

Operations teams create repeatable workflows for different installation activities — survey, ready for installation, scheduled, assigned, in progress, commissioning, review, approved and handover — with each stage defining responsibility, required activities, forms, evidence, reviews and approval conditions.

CHOOSE IT WHEN

You need to coordinate surveys, installations, engineers, contractors, commissioning, quality reviews and corrective work across multiple sites.

BUSINESS BENEFIT

Creates consistent installation processes and clearer visibility across distributed renewable energy programmes.

EXAMPLE USE CASES
Solar PV installation

A site survey captures roof or site conditions, measurements, access requirements and supporting photographs. Once approved, an installation job is created with the required documents, equipment details, forms and evidence requirements, and installers submit commissioning information for review.

EV charger installation

Installation teams receive property information, equipment specifications and required work before attending site. Electrical checks, installation photographs, charger details and commissioning information are captured during the visit.

Battery energy storage installation

Each installation follows defined preparation, installation, testing and commissioning stages. Equipment information, serial numbers, photographs, tests and approval records remain connected to the job.

Heat pump installation

Site survey information, system requirements and property details are captured before work is scheduled. Installation teams then complete structured installation and commissioning activities before submitting the system for final review.

Contractor installation programme

Installation work is distributed across multiple contractors while every delivery partner follows the same job structure, evidence requirements and review process, giving operations teams a clear view from assignment through to approval.

Installation defect and remediation

A quality review identifies an installation issue or missing evidence. A corrective action is created, assigned to the relevant engineer or contractor and tracked until new evidence is submitted and verified.
