Solar & energy

Thermal inspection for solar and energy sites

Radiometric thermal imaging finds failing modules, hot spots, string outages and connection faults across an entire array, in a fraction of the time a ground crew takes.

What we deliver

Findings your O&M team can act on

We fly the DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (RTK) for inspection and the Matrice 4E for mapping. Every anomaly is GPS-located, so crews go straight to the fault.

  • Thermal and RGB inspection of modules, strings, combiners and inverters
  • An anomaly report with GPS-located findings, ready for your O&M team
  • Pre-construction mapping and drainage review data for new sites
  • Construction progress mapping for new arrays
  • Substation and facility thermal and visual documentation
  • Building envelope inspection for heat loss and moisture in roofs and walls

Why fly it: regular thermal checks catch problems before they become failures, with no scaffolding, ladders or shutdowns.

How it works

How a thermal inspection runs

  1. 01

    Scope

    Site size, inverter and string layout, inspection standard and timing for good irradiance.

  2. 02

    Fly

    Radiometric thermal and RGB capture in suitable sun and wind conditions.

  3. 03

    Analyze

    Anomalies classified and located against your array layout.

  4. 04

    Report

    Anomaly report, R-JPEG imagery and map overlays for your O&M team.
