Solar Panel Infrared Drone Inspection

Maximize the output and efficiency of your solar panel array using detailed data from infrared drone imagery.

Solar panel infrared drone inspection.

Infrared testing inc iti is merging its thermal imaging expertise with cutting edge drone technology to find the problems changing the process of inspecting solar energy systems. These damanged panels can then be replaced ideally within the manufacterer s warranty and increase the total output of the solar field. Armed with our flir equipped drone a commercial dji inspire suas with a zenmuse xt 640 512 resolution radiometric infrared camera we say goodbye to the days of hanging out the side. Infrared scans of pv systems identify individual module and string failures.

The thermal signature is most prominent on sun heated pv panels. Condensed moisture accumulated overnight has evaporated and the scene has not yet to become isothermal. Regular inspections are important for efficient power generation long service life and high returns on the investment. Iti s custom drones seize complete data in order to classify identify and localize each anomaly and understand the impact of its performance on the system.

At this particular solar field infrared testing inc. It is well known that using thermography for solar panel field evaluations offers several advantages. Drone thermal imaging solar inspection are clear skies with low wind speeds. Drones provided with infrared cameras are transforming how the solar systems are inspected and maintained.

A uav drone or a quad copter drone can be programmed to do a surveillance inspection depending on the necessities of the solar from using an infrared camera with thermal imaging to a normal ultrahd 4k video in order to spot different areas of the solar panels at a high resolution. Late morning to early afternoon is the optimal time to perform a drone based thermal inspection.
