Solar Panel Inspection

High quality thermal cameras and sensors reveal dead cells, cracks and hidden defects across rooftop arrays and entire solar farms, so failing panels get found before they cost you real yield.

The survey

See the faults that visible light cannot show you

A cracked cell, a failing bypass diode or a loose connection often shows no visible sign at all, right up until output drops. Our thermal cameras pick up the heat signature of a fault long before it is obvious on the ground.

We survey rooftop residential and commercial arrays as easily as we do multi hectare solar farms, matching visible and thermal imagery so every flagged panel is easy to find and easy to act on.

  • Full array coverage in a fraction of the time of manual checks
  • Thermal and visual imagery, matched panel for panel
  • Defects ranked by severity, not just listed
  • Suits one off checks or scheduled operations and maintenance

How it works

From flight plan to a panel level report

Click through the steps below to see how this service runs.

Plan the flight

We schedule the survey for the conditions that give the clearest thermal contrast across your array.

Capture the array

Thermal and visual imagery is captured across every panel, rooftop or ground mounted.

Find the anomalies

Hot spots, dead cells and cracked panels are identified and located precisely within the array.

Deliver the findings

A prioritised report arrives with panel level coordinates, ready for your maintenance team to act on.

What we look for

The faults that quietly cost you yield

  • Hot spots and overheating cells
  • Dead or underperforming cells
  • Micro cracks and physical damage
  • Delamination and panel degradation
  • Junction box and connection faults
  • String level performance issues

Who it is for

Rooftop arrays and utility scale farms

Solar farm operators Commercial rooftop solar Homeowners with rooftop PV Operations and maintenance contractors
