Thermographic Inspections
Utilizing drone thermography technology, we deliver precise and comprehensive inspections of solar installations. This method allows for early detection of anomalies, preventing costly failures and maximizing energy production efficiencies.
Transform your approach to solar energy with us.
Utilising the latest thermal technology, all of our thermographic surveys are conducted in full accordance with IEC TS 62446-3:2017 (ČSN EN IEC 62446-3), the international standard for outdoor infrared inspection of photovoltaic systems. Compliant inspection reports provide the documented, standardised evidence required to support manufacturer warranty claims, O&M maintenance decisions, and technical due diligence processes.
Whether it is hotspots, cracked or damaged cells, faulty bypass diodes, loose electrical connections, delamination, water ingress, or Potential Induced Degradation (PID), we can help detect and identify it, minimising downtime and labour, and maximising output.
The global solar industry experienced an average annual production loss of 4.47% due to equipment faults and under-performance in 2023 — up from 3.13% in 2022 and 1.61% in 2019 — resulting in an estimated $4.6 billion in global revenue loss, according to Raptor Maps' 2024 Global Solar Report. ↗
A 10-year long-term study by TÜV Rheinland ↗ found that in 2015–16 over two-thirds of PV modules tested exceeded their rated output, but by 2024, two-thirds were delivering less power than stated by the manufacturer — highlighting the growing importance of regular independent thermographic inspection.
With the industry averaging 4.47% in equipment-related production loss in 2023, a single thermographic survey can identify and enable recovery of a substantial portion of that loss — often exceeding the cost of the inspection many times over.
