Photovoltaic Thermal Inspections

Identify hidden solar PV defects before they become energy losses.

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?

Thermal anomalies and common PV fault indicators.

  • Hotspots
  • Defective PV Modules
  • Cell Mismatch
  • Bypass Diode Failures
  • String Anomalies
  • Connector Issues
  • Soiling Effects
  • Potential Degradation Patterns

Why Use Drone Thermography?

Rapid inspection of large solar installations.

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.

  • Faster inspections
  • Improved defect localization
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Increased energy production
  • Enhanced asset reliability

Inspection Methodology

Planned around data quality and recognized principles.

Our inspection procedures are developed around internationally recognized photovoltaic thermography principles, including IEC TS 62446-3.

  • Irradiance conditions
  • Environmental parameters
  • System operating status
  • Flight safety requirements
  • Data quality controls

Deliverables

Professional inspection reports with clear findings.
