Thermal imaging of photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic power plants (installations) are becoming increasingly popular as sources of electricity generation.

Like any technical system, they are exposed to defects that affect their effective and safe operation, and therefore should be subjected to periodic inspections and reviews.

For devices and systems that are difficult to stop for maintenance, technologies that can be used to perform part of the maintenance while the installation is operating are gaining in importance. Thermal imaging offers this opportunity. An additional advantage of this method is the ability to inspect a large area in a relatively short time.

A thermal imaging inspection of a photovoltaic power plant performed by our specialists allows us to identify the following operational problems:

  • manufacturing or assembly defects,
  • mechanical damage to individual cells and panels,
  • areas of cell or panel shading.
