Intertek has strengthened its position in the solar quality assurance market with the acquisition of Aerial PV Inspection GmbH, a German specialist in high-speed drone-based inspection and diagnostic solutions for large solar photovoltaic systems.

With the global solar market forecast to grow at a 9.2% CAGR to 2029, the acquisition is expected to deepen Intertek’s market penetration in a rapidly expanding segment and support accelerated growth as demand for risk-based quality assurance in renewables rises.
