Drone solar inspection: finding faults before they cost you
Thermal imaging from drones can identify bypass diode failures, cracks, and soiling that are invisible to the naked eye but drastically reduce ROI.
Thermal hot-spot detection
Using radiometric thermal sensors, drones can spot individual cells that are running hotter than the rest of the module. These hot-spots often indicate internal damage, string issues, or bypass diode failure.
