Solar maintenance with thermal aerial imaging uses the latest drone technology to ensure your solar panels are operating at peak efficiency. In this blog post, we’ll explore the advantages to drone thermal scans.

Why are drones used for solar inspections?

Drones can overcome limitations of traditional on the ground inspections. The advantages of solar maintenance with thermal aerial imaging include:

  • Speed & Scope – Drones can cover large areas in a short amount of time compared to on the ground inspections.
  • Safety – Drones allow inspectors to remain on the ground and reduce the risks associated with rooftop inspections
  • Cost – With time and labor costs reduced, thermal aerial imaging is an economical option
  • Detailed Data – The data collected with the high-resolution cameras with advanced thermal sensors provide detailed data that can provide a supremely thorough assessment of the solar site’s equipment condition compared to spot checked thermal scans or a visual inspection.
  • Early Detection – Thermal aerial imaging can reveal issues like damaged cells, cracks, or faulty electrical connections. By catching these problems early, we can prevent larger production issues and save owners from costly repairs in the future.
