PHOTOVOLTAIC INSPECTION WITH INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING DRONE
Solar panel installation is a long-term investment that can serve you well for decades with very minimal maintenance, but that doesn’t mean you can install once and then ignore them. Plan on a yearly inspection and stay cognizant of potential problems such as overhanging trees, weather damaged, overheating, PID effect, etc. To ensure that such investments stay in great shape and continue to offer benefits, it is important to have solar panels professionally maintained and cleaned on a regular basis.

TYPICALLY DIAGNOSED DEFECTS ON PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
OVERHEATING
Possibly caused by damages that occur during manufacturing delivery, installation or stained spots on cell surface. This defect can lower the energy generated by the cell up to 10%.
INACTIVE CELL ROW
1/3 of panels fall die and overheated status. A common cause is a malfuctioning bypass diode. The consequence is 15% loss in the capacity of the whole cell row.
INACTIVE PANEL OR MODULE
The entire panel is out of service and not producing any power due to various errors.
COVERED PANEL
Obstacles such as branches and buildings over panels impede lights, which results in power under-generation.
INACTIVE PANEL ROW
Excessive string voltage could lead to an electricity leak between cells and panel frames, cutting 30% out of the actual generating volume of the panel.
SYMPTOMS OF PID EFFECT
Excessive string voltage could lead to an electricity leak between cells and panel frames, cutting 30% out of the actual generating volume of the panel.
