Infrared Solar (PV) Inspections

Why use drones to inspect Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels?

Regular aerial inspections of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is crucial for maximizing system performance and increasing your return on investment. Aerial inspections have become the fastest, cheapest, and safest method available today in identifying potential issues and speeding up repair time. By addressing these issues early on through routine aerial inspections, you will maximize your PV system’s performance, and gain a higher return on investment in the long run.

We use the industry standard 640 x 512 resolution, Aerial infrared (IR) sensors to identify and diagnose issues that can affect the performance of the solar array.

Our inspections will look for annomolies (hot spots), which are areas of the panel that are producing more heat than others. These hotspots can be caused by a number of issues, such as:

• faulty connections

• shading

• damage

• dirt and debris

Our goal is to identify defects that could cause poor performance of the solar PV system.

identifying these annomolies through thermal aerial inspections drastically speeds up the troubleshooting allowing for repairs to be made in a timely manner, improving your PV system’s effeciency.
