How Thermal Drone Inspections Are Used

Thermal imaging drones can assist with:

  • Identifying hot spots or thermal anomalies

  • Locating potential panel faults or underperforming areas

  • Supporting maintenance planning and inspection reporting

  • Inspecting large or elevated solar arrays efficiently

Drone inspections are a non-contact method and are used to support, not replace, electrical testing or system diagnostics.

  • Location and site overview imagery

Imagery is captured with consideration for lighting, weather conditions, and site access.
