How does PV inspection work?

Our inspection solution processes thermal images taken of PV systems and identifies, classifies, and prioritizes 100% of all anomalies, mapped to a digital twin of your solar site. All anomalies have an exact location for efficient remediation, enabling PV systems across the world to maximize productivity.

How do you inspect a solar panel?

Here’s a comprehensive solar panel inspection checklist to guide you: Visual Inspection Check for Physical Damage: Look for cracks, chips, or scratches on the panels. Inspect Mounting Hardware: Ensure all bolts and brackets are secure and there is no rust or corrosion. Examine Wiring and Connections: Check for any loose, frayed, or damaged wires.

What is a PV inspection level?

It provides highly detailed, sub-module level granular data and allows teams to thoroughly understand the performance of each PV module. This inspection level offers temperate deltas and enables accurate sorting and prioritization of both module and string-level anomalies by temperature intensity.

How can robotics help with solar PV inspections?

Unlock advanced robotics use cases with the industry’s leading integrator of robotics for solar. Conduct frequent and automated inspections with autonomous drones and dock technology, enabled by our geospatially-based digital twins. Leverage our network of vetted drone service providers to perform your solar PV inspection.

What is a severe rating on a solar PV module?

The schematics in the Terminology section describe where each component is found on a common solar PV module. A Severity Rating is also defined to give users guidelines on how concerning a particular defect may be.

Do solar panels need to be inspected?

Extend lifespan: Proper maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your solar panels. Ignoring regular inspections can lead to reduced energy production and higher repair costs as well as exposure to safety hazards. Understanding common defects can help you know what to look for during an inspection.
