Renewable Energy Inspections

Improve Performance with Drone Inspections

Drone solar inspections offer a cost and time efficient alternative to traditional methods. Our comprehensive visual and thermal inspections optimize PV systems by tracking anomalies and facilitating proactive maintenance, resulting in significant cost savings for solar operators.

Cell Anomalies

Localized hot spots where cell temperature exceeds adjacent areas, often due to cell damage or shading.

Surface Cracks

Surface cracking compromises the structural integrity of the module, reducing performance and can lead to moisture ingress, delamination, and electrical issues.

Diodes Faults

Involves the activation of a bypass diode to reroute current around a malfunctioning cell or module.

Internal Short Circuits

Occur when multiple cells experience anomalies within the diode boundaries, leading to increased temperature and potentially damaging neighbouring cells.

Module & String Outages

A module or a string of multiple modules connected in series, experiencing overheating or other defects causing reduced energy output and system downtime.

Vegetation & Soiling

Modules blocked by vegetation or soiled by dirt, dust, or debris, obstructs sunlight and reduces the efficiency of solar cells, requiring cleaning or maintenance.
