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.

Common questions

Good to know.

No. The thermal inspection is carried out from the air while the system is running, so there is no need to shut down the array or disrupt generation.

Hot spots, faulty and degrading cells, bypass diode failures, string faults, soiling and shading issues, wiring and connection defects, delamination and manufacturing defects, each mapped to its exact panel location.

Yes. Reports are delivered to IEC 62446-3 standards, with annotated thermal images, fault classification by severity and recommended remedial actions.

Drone inspection is ideal for large arrays, covering entire solar farms far faster than manual inspection. Get in touch with your site details for a tailored quote.

What our clients say

"I recently used David to inspect a couple of problematic leaks in my son's house. He arrived within 24 hours of my call and flew the drone to inspect the whole roof and outside of the house. He successfully located the source of the leaks, provided photos and a report. He even climbed into the loft space to take photos so I was able to see clearly for myself. This saved a lot of time and money. I would thoroughly recommend without hesitation. Excellent service, knowledgeable and a very nice chap too!"
