Thermographic
Inspection
Thanks to the further development of drones and cameras, a thermographic inspections of existing solar installations has established itself as an effective method of analysis.
About
Thermographic Inspection
Thermography
Infrared images visualise faults that are hardly detectable visually and very difficult to measure from a technical point of view. For PV systems, this inspection technique provides valuable information, regarding the technical condition of the system, and faults that are relevant in terms of performance and safety.
We offer you a flexible full-service package for your photovoltaic plant, which you can put together in modules, depending on your wishes and the technical specifications of your PV plant.
We observe the relevant standards strictly in order to achieve reliable results and generate a basis for subsequent warranty processes or necessary repairs.
When does an
thermographic
inspection makes sense?
If you have noticed a decrease in the power generation of your plant or if you want to check your modules
This process provides you with a detailed report that allows you to identify defective modules and their specific location, which simplifies the maintenance and repair process.
Additionally, this inspection helps to increase the efficiency and lifespan of your photovoltaic modules, as it can detect temperature differences and potential hot spots that could lead to permanent damage if not addressed in a timely manner.
If you want to recognize faults at an early stage and enhance the useful life of your modules
Additionally, with a thermographic PV evaluation, you can detect potential hotspots and module damage caused by environmental factors, such as hail or lightning strikes, and take corrective measures to prevent further damage. This can help extend the lifespan of your PV system and optimize its performance, resulting in a better return on investment.
If you are planning to acquire a PV plant and want to check the condition of the modules
Our team of experts uses high-resolution thermographic cameras, mounted on drones, to capture aerial images of your photovoltaic modules. These images are then processed using advanced software, which detects thermal anomalies and assigns them to specific modules. This helps to pinpoint any potential issues with your system and allows for a more accurate diagnosis and repair plan. The results of the thermographic inspection are presented to you in an easy-to-understand report, complete with recommendations for corrective action.
If you need information for the sale of your plant
For sellers, our inspection services offer an opportunity to proactively address any issues identified through thermographic analysis. By ordering targeted repairs and documenting them before the sale, sellers can demonstrate the quality and reliability of their solar power plant, potentially leading to a better overall purchase price.
Our team of certified thermographic experts uses state-of-the-art drone technology and advanced software to provide you with accurate and reliable results. We understand the importance of thermographic evaluation in assessing the performance and safety of your photovoltaic system, and our services are designed to help you make informed decisions in the buying or selling process.
If one of the warranties from your contractor or module manufacturer is about to expire
Adhering to relevant standards is critical to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the results of our inspections. Our team of experts follows strict guidelines and industry standards, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62446, to ensure that our inspections are carried out to the highest level of quality. This approach allows us to generate reliable and trustworthy results that can be used as a basis for any warranty processes or necessary repairs.
