Solar Panel Inspection with Drone and Thermal Camera
Maximise energy production by identifying hotspots, defective cells and performance issues. Thermal drone inspection covers large installations quickly and without disruption.
Why drone solar panel inspection?
Thermal hotspot detection
Full radiometric thermal camera identifies hotspots and defective cells with precision.
Maximise production
Identify underperforming panels and take action to restore optimal energy output.
Large area in short time
Drones cover large solar installations efficiently — from rooftop systems to solar parks.
Preventive maintenance
Regular inspection prevents costly failures and extends the lifespan of your installation.
Panel-specific report
Every panel is classified and mapped so you know exactly where action is needed.
All installation types
Works on monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels of all sizes.

Frequently asked questions about solar panel inspection
The thermal camera detects temperature anomalies in individual cells. Defective cells, dirty surfaces or electrical faults generate abnormal heat visible in thermal images.
Hotspots, defective cells, delamination, micro-cracks, diode failures, shading issues and connection problems.
Yes, ideally panels should be under load with good solar irradiation for the clearest thermal signatures.
From individual rooftop systems to large-scale solar parks. Drones cover large areas efficiently.
Annually recommended for optimal performance. More frequent if performance drops.
Thermal data identifies underperforming panels. Combined with system data, this can estimate production losses.
Yes, thermal inspection works on monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels.
