The detection of faults on the PV Systems with the thermography drones has been proven in practice. The flying robots are equipped with high-resolution x pixels infrared cameras.
We have been detecting and recording faults and damages on PV Systems since Damaged or defective solar cells hot spots- localized solar cell defects have higher or lower than average temperatures.
Faulty solar panels are detected and further abnormalities are identified on the PV systems by means of non-contact infrared measurement. The evaluation of the generated infrared images is an essential part of the whole process. Depending on the contract, the evaluation is prepared on the basis of a radiometric video or an image. A comprehensive thermographic evaluation provides corrective recommendations.
A thermography drone survey is performed during normal operation of the solar system. On the basis of our work and experience we provide support for the optimization of PV systems, assist in the enforcement of warranty claims and the recovery of profit losses from the insurance companies. Photovoltaic systems thermography from the air using drones is fast and cost-effective.
The cost will depend upon the size of the system in kWp kilowatt peak and the scope of the inspection. It is possible to get an overview of the condition of PV modules of a MW solar farm in just 3 to 4 hours. Other survey methods, such as electroluminescence EL measurements, are also part of our services.
