IEC 62446-3 Compliant Reporting

Solar Farm Thermal Inspection

Rapid thermal inspection of entire solar arrays. Identify every underperforming panel, hot spot, string fault and bypass diode failure, at scale and without shutdown.

Is your solar farm performing at its best?

The faults that quietly cost you.

Faulty cells, hot spots, bypass diode failures, string faults, soiling and wiring defects. These are the faults that silently reduce your yield, shorten panel life and cost you money, and most of them are completely invisible to the naked eye.

A Land by Drone solar inspection uses professional infrared imaging from drone altitude to identify every underperforming panel across your entire array, without shutting down the system, without access equipment and without disruption to operations. You get a full written report with annotated thermal images, fault locations and recommended remedial actions, delivered to IEC 62446-3 standards.

What a solar inspection reveals.

Hot spots individual cells overheating and degrading
Bypass diode failures rows of cells dropping out of production
String faults entire strings underperforming or offline
Soiling & shading issues dirt, debris or shadow reducing output
Wiring & connection defects loose or failing electrical connections
Delamination panel layers separating, visible as thermal anomalies
Manufacturing defects cells that never performed correctly

Every fault is mapped to its exact panel location and documented in a full written report, so you know exactly what to fix and where.
