A range of solar services
Thermographic inspections
Thermal imaging is a key tool during and after installation, to verify that every part of the system is functioning properly.
It allows defects and potential problems to be identified early, before they escalate. This keeps downtime to a minimum and extends the sytem’s operational life.
Hotspot detection
Hotspots in PV panels can be a sign of damaged cells, faulty connections, or other malfunctions.
Temperature mapping
Anomalies in temperature distribution can indicate uneven power production or potential issues with specific panels.
Inverter & connection inspection
Thermal imaging can highlight issues with inverters and electrical connections. Addressing these promptly helps prevent energy losses and maintains system.
Snow & dust buildup
Weather and other environmental factors can impact panel performance. Identifying buildups of snow or dust helps with timely maintenance regimes.
Fire prevention
Panel hotspots may be an early warning of a potential fire hazard. Detecting them allows quick intervention protect not just the solar PV system but also the building it’s mounted on.
Research & development
Thermal imaging is also useful for studying the thermal behavior of new materials and panel designs, helping in the development of more efficient systems.
Drone surveys
A drone’s aerial perspective is valuable at every stage of a solar PV system’s life cycle.
Our drone surveys inform the initial planning and design. They help with project management during the installation, reducing the risks of working at height. And they give us insights into performance that enable us to maintain the system at peak efficiency for years to come.
Shading studies
Specialised cameras can identify potential obstructions such as trees or nearby structures that might cast shadows on the solar panels.
3D modeling
Detailed 3D site models allow engineers and designers to plan the layout of solar panels efficiently, for optimal sunlight.
Topographical surveys
Topographical data is crucial for designing the layout of the solar array and optimizing its orientation for maximum energy production.
Status tracking
Real-time aerial views are a great help to project managers during construction. They can identify potential issues and confirm that the solar panels and other components are all installed correctly.
Maintenance inspections
Routine inspections capture high-resolution images and videos that can be used to identify signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.
Performance monitoring
Drones equipped with sensors can monitor the overall performance of the solar PV system, assessing the condition of the panels, tracking energy production, and identifying any anomalies that need attention.
Environmental impacts
The growth of foliage around the solar array can be tracked, along with shading from dust or snow. The maintenance programme can then be tailored to keep the system running at maximum effectiveness.
