Find the dead panelbefore the bill does.
Radiometric thermal inspection across solar arrays, flown under load, so underperforming strings and failed cells show up as a temperature you can act on.
No shutdown required
You own the raw files
A panel does not have to look broken to be losing you money.
Most solar faults are invisible from the ground and invisible from a ladder. A microcrack, a failed bypass diode, a corroded connection or a shaded string all present the same way: the panel keeps sitting there looking fine while the array quietly underproduces. Heat is the tell, and heat is measurable.
Draw the array
Trace the site in the Order Studio, or tap the property and the registered parcel loads itself. The price updates as you draw.
We fly it under load
A licensed pilot captures radiometric thermal across the array while it is generating, because a shut down array hides the faults you are paying to find.
You get numbers
Flagged panels with their temperature differential, matched visual imagery, and the raw radiometric files so your engineers can check the work.
Price your array. It costs nothing to look.
Unlimited free quotes. You only pay when you place an order.
What you actually get.
Written down before you order, rather than discovered afterwards.
When not to order a thermal scan.
You want a condition rating
Thermal finds electrical faults. It does not assess mounting integrity, frame corrosion or structural condition. If that is the question, order an Inspection instead.
It is overcast
Low irradiance flattens the temperature differential and faults hide. We would rather move the flight than sell you a scan that finds nothing.
You need a site map, not a fault list
For a measurable, georeferenced image of the whole site, order an Orthomosaic map.
The things asset owners actually ask.
What actually finds a fault, thermal or a visual inspection?
Thermal. A cracked cell, a failed bypass diode or a bad connection shows up as heat long before anything is visible. A visual inspection finds physical damage, soiling and mounting problems. On a large array you usually want the thermal pass first and the visual pass on whatever it flags.
How large an array can you cover in a day?
It depends on array layout and the altitude the site allows, so we will not quote a number that sounds good and then miss it. What we will do is tell you the expected coverage for your site before you order, and the Order Studio shows the estimated flight time as you draw.
Do you need to shut the array down?
No. Thermal inspection is done with the array under load, because that is when faults show. Shutting it down hides exactly what you are looking for.
What do we get at the end?
Radiometric thermal stills, matched visual stills, and a report identifying flagged panels with their temperature differential. The raw radiometric files come with it, so your own engineers can interrogate any pixel later.
Can you do this across a portfolio rather than one site?
Yes, and that is where it earns its money. Bulk pricing applies from ten sites, and the capture specification is agreed once and applied to every site so the results are comparable rather than a pile of one-off jobs.
