Thermographic inspection of solar plants

Detecting visible and thermal anomalies helps prioritise the reviews and maintenance of an installation.

SCOPE OF SERVICE

What we review.

Detecting visible and thermal anomalies helps prioritise the reviews and maintenance of an installation.

Hotspots and modules

Thermography can reveal temperature differences that should be investigated on site.

Vegetation, shading and soiling

The visual flight helps document external factors and areas of operational risk.

Technical report

Evidence is organised by location and type of issue, within the scope of the inspection.

METHODOLOGY

Our process.

  1. 01

    Planning

    We review the layout, access, airspace and the conditions needed for capture.

  2. 02

    Flight and inspection

    We take thermal and RGB images of the agreed areas.

  3. 03

    Data analysis

    We classify findings that require technical verification.

  4. 04

    Report

    We deliver located evidence and review recommendations.

DELIVERABLES

Data you can act on.

The exact content is agreed before the job.

Evidence

Images or captures organised by area.

Location

Reference of the issue on the asset when the capture allows.

Priorities

Summary of the points worth checking or monitoring.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What you should know.

How much does it cost?

It depends on location, area, operating conditions and scope. We prepare a proposal based on that information.

Does it replace an on-site inspection?

Not always. Aerial findings may need close-up measurements or checks by qualified personnel.

When can it be carried out?

The date depends on permits, weather and availability of the right team.

WHY INSPECT

Detect before you intervene.

Hotspots, component failures, shading, soiling and vegetation can affect a solar PV installation. A visual and thermographic inspection helps locate signs that the technical team must then assess.

The choice of sensor, resolution and irradiance conditions is determined by the objective and the agreed methodology. A thermal image alone does not prove the cause of a defect.

Early detection

Identify points that need checking before the problem spreads.

Asset map

Locate findings to guide site visits and maintenance.

Comparison

Document the condition for future inspections.

WHO IT IS FOR

Who is this service for?

Solar plant managers, rooftop owners, O&M companies, insurers or technicians who need evidence to review an asset.

Ground-mounted plant

Routes and sectors defined according to size and access.

Rooftop self-consumption system

Inspection adapted to the building and its operating restrictions.
