Solar PV Thermography
Photovoltaic Thermal Inspections
Drone-based thermographic inspections designed to identify thermal anomalies quickly and efficiently.
Solar assets are expected to operate reliably for decades.
Solar assets are expected to operate reliably for decades. Even small defects can result in energy losses, accelerated degradation and costly repairs if left undetected. MIH Advanced Aerial Inspections provides drone-based thermographic inspections designed to identify thermal anomalies quickly and efficiently.
What Can Be Detected?
- Hotspots
- Defective PV modules
- Cell mismatch
- Bypass diode failures
- String anomalies
- Connector issues
- Soiling effects
- Potential degradation patterns
Why Use Drone Thermography?
Large areas can be inspected rapidly.
Large solar installations can contain thousands of modules. Traditional inspection methods are time consuming and often impractical.
Using advanced UAV technology, large areas can be inspected rapidly while minimizing disruption to plant operations.
Benefits include:
- Faster inspections
- Improved defect localization
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Increased energy production
- Enhanced asset reliability
Inspection Methodology
