Pinpointing Performance Issues with Precision: The Power of Aerial Solar Inspections This side-by-side thermal and visual inspection highlights the effectiveness of drone-based solar panel monitoring. The thermal image clearly reveals a hot spot—marked in red—that indicates a potential fault, such as a damaged cell or a failing diode, which could significantly reduce energy output. Traditional ground inspections often miss these subtle yet critical anomalies. With high-resolution zoom and real-time thermal analysis, our inspection technology enables early detection and targeted maintenance, ensuring peak performance and longer panel lifespan. Protect your solar investment—detect issues before they cost you.
