PRODUCT 04 / PV THERMAL

Thermal inspections of solar PV assets

Systematic thermal and RGB material referenced to rows, zones or client identifiers and prepared for subsequent ground verification.

Scope

  • Solar farms and larger rooftop systems
  • Thermal capture and matching RGB material
  • Pilot sectors or a full agreed area
  • Commissioning, control or periodic inspections

Deliverables

  • Thermograms and RGB photographs
  • References to rows, zones or client identifiers
  • Register of unusual patterns when ordered
  • Measurement conditions, coverage and limitations note

Inputs for pricing

  • Location, capacity and site plan
  • Row, inverter and zone structure
  • Operating state and inspection objective
  • Access, HSEQ, required conditions and timing

Net prices. Travel and additional processing are quoted separately. Scope, deliverables and timing are agreed before delivery.

Service boundary

Capture requires suitable irradiance, stable weather and an appropriate operating state. Thermal imagery identifies patterns for verification. It is not an electrical diagnosis, protective measurement or confirmation of root cause without suitable ground checks.

Guide

How to plan a useful PV thermal inspection by drone

A useful PV inspection depends on the installation data, operating conditions, systematic capture and a clear reporting format, as well as the thermal camera. Together, these factors determine whether the maintenance team can act on the observations.

05, FAQ

Solar PV inspections

01What can thermal PV imagery show?+

It can highlight hotspots and uneven temperature patterns that may identify modules or areas requiring closer electrical or physical verification.

02Can a drone inspection replace electrical testing?+

A drone inspection provides rapid screening and documentation. Qualified personnel must carry out the electrical testing and final diagnosis where required.
