Commercial Solar Panel Thermal Inspection
Drone-flown radiometric thermal surveys of commercial solar arrays. Module-level defect detection, string-level fault localization, and energy-loss quantification per IEC 62446-3 methodology. For commercial rooftop and ground-mount installations.
Drone-flown radiometric thermal imaging captures the entire solar array during peak operating conditions, identifying defective modules, bypass diode failures, junction box faults, potential-induced degradation (PID), and thermal anomalies at the cell, module, and string level.
Following IEC 62446-3 methodology, surveys are conducted at minimum irradiance thresholds with the system operating under load. Each anomaly is GPS-tagged with module-level precision, classified per the standard’s defect categories, and mapped to the array’s string configuration for maintenance targeting.
Deliverable is a defensible PDF report with executive summary, methodology, irradiance and array operating conditions during the scan, annotated thermal and RGB imagery per anomaly, module-level fault registry with string association, and prioritized O&M recommendations. Format is accepted by O&M contractors, insurance carriers, and warranty administrators.
Reports delivered within 48 hours of flight. Best for commercial rooftop and ground-mount arrays. Utility-scale engagements available through consortium partnerships.

Building Envelope Thermal Analysis
Exterior wall, curtain-wall, and high-rise envelope thermal analysis. Detect insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, and air infiltration without scaffolding, rope access, or shutdowns.
HVAC Thermal Screening
Rooftop unit anomaly detection — refrigerant leaks, failing compressors, electrical hot spots — identified before they cause equipment failure or business interruption.
Commercial Roof Thermal Inspection
Geo-referenced thermal moisture surveys identifying wet insulation, membrane breaches, and trapped moisture before they become leaks, warranty disputes, or insurance claims.
