How Above Surveying Company Helps Customers When Storms Damage Their Solar Plant
When severe weather strikes, such as hail, snow or wind, solar asset owners need fast, reliable support to assess damage and restore operations.
Above plays a critical role in helping customers protect their solar investment and get their system back online quickly and safely.
Why Storm Damage Happens and What It Means for Solar Plants
Solar energy systems are engineered to withstand normal weather conditions, but extreme events can still cause significant issues. Heavy hail can crack panels, high winds can disturb mounting hardware, and saturated rainfall or snow can infiltrate electrical components. These kinds of impacts don’t just reduce performance they can compromise safety and longevity.
After a storm, you may notice:
Loss of energy production
Visible panel or racking damage
Electrical faults or grounding issues
Water ingress into enclosures
However, not all damage is obvious to the naked eye and that’s why professional assessment is critical.

This ensures customers get help right when they need it most.
2. Comprehensive Damage Imagery
After a storm, hidden defects are common. Above uses advanced tools to perform thorough inspections, including:
Drone imaging
Thermal (IR) scanning
Panel-level diagnostics
