Solar PV Plant Survey
Drones are nowadays evolving as the most accessible tool in the solar energy sector. Due to environmental conditions and logistical issues maintenance of solar power plants has always remained a challenge. Our Drone base technology can carry out quicker, safer, accurate and cost effective inspection of a plant effortlessly, that helps run the plants at its peak efficiency uninterruptedly.
Brief
Our aerial thermal imaging survey for solar farm can identify and precisely find flawed cells, natural garbage, string errors damaged diodes and PID faults on installation panels. Our built thermal imaging cameras are a perfect answer for distinguishing warm oddities and amplifying vitality creation. Flawed cells work at a temperature (hot or cold) unique to that of ordinary cells, which means we can without much of a stretch stick point the area of cell faults either by GPS referenced to a site delineate or by utilizing graphical overlays.
We Provide
We use Advanced Image Processing algorithms and Thermal Sensors on drones to detect abnormalities such as hot-spots, vegetation encroachment, dust covers etc. This technology provides information like exact module number, position and temperature details.
We can Deliver a Range of Different types of Fault Detection Including
- Faulty Cells Faulty cells operate at a temperature different to that of normal cells, making them easy to detect with infrared technologies.
- String Errors Accurately locate costly string errors – found on solar farms using string inverters that could otherwise affect the performance of entire rows
- Defective Diodes Thermal imaging allows for the early detection of defective diodes, reducing potential voltage loss through photovoltaic modules.
- Debris Detect and locate debris that could otherwise cause risks to equipment and the environment.
We Support Solar Farm Engineering and Construction
Use drone surveying and mapping to plan and construct solar farm sites. Review 2D and 3D imaging to help accurately design string locations for maximum land use and solar charging.
Drive higher energy yields Perform thermal surveys of solar farms, leveraging solar string analysis to identify under performance issues. Inspect racking & mounting, inverters, panels, site vegetation or soiling issues quickly and inexpensively at utility-scale solar farms to maximize the site’s revenue.
