Gyeonggi Province will conduct a joint inspection of mountain solar power plants vulnerable to flood and wind damage accidents during the summer rainy season.

On the 13th, Gyeonggi Province announced that from the 17th to the 28th, it will carry out inspections of 17 medium-sized mountain solar power plants exceeding 1000kW in capacity, in cooperation with the provincial and city/county governments and the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation. The 194 small-scale mountain solar power plants within the province will be inspected independently by the city/county governments.

The main inspection items include ▲module damage and the fastening condition between supports and modules ▲normal operation of inverters and insulation status of distribution panels ▲installation of high-voltage safety signs ▲maintenance status of drainage facility manholes and drainage channels ▲ground subsidence and soil erosion within the site.

Minor issues such as cleaning drainage channels and installing safety signs will be addressed immediately on-site. For safety concerns such as soil erosion and ground subsidence, the city/county governments will issue disaster prevention and defect repair orders to ensure prompt response.

Cha Seong-su, Director of the Climate Environment and Energy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "If power generation operators fail to comply with disaster prevention orders, strong measures such as cancellation of mountain land use permits, suspension of solar power generation projects, and removal of facilities will be taken. We will conduct thorough joint inspections of solar power plants to do our best to prevent loss of life and property damage for the residents."
