Drone Thermal Imaging and Property Inspection

When is the best time to use a Thermal Infrared camera for conducting roof inspections?

UAVs or Drone’s as they are known have the ability to create great aerial photography and videography which has been understood for some times, however, were you aware that they can also be fitted with thermal infrared cameras to add a whole new dimension to property inspections? Thermal imaging cameras provide a non-contact temperature measurement across areas that are hard to access or see from a ground.

The health and safety risks associated with working at height are minimised when using drone technology, as are the risks of causing damage to the structure through the inspection process itself. With UAVs carrying thermal imaging cameras, temperature data is captured in real-time as well as recorded both quickly and accurately with the resulting heat map presented as colour images in both a qualitative and quantitative reporting format. Image analysis and reporting completed by a thermographer appropriately trained and certified, can identify potential fault areas that would have remained hidden to the human eye until serious damage had occurred.

Key Areas to Use a Thermal Drone
- Inspection are Non-Destructive
- Flat Roof Water Ingress Inspection
- Domestic Solar Photovoltaic Panel Inspections
- Commercial Solar Farm Maintenance Inspection
- Flat Roof Surface Failures
- Flat Roof Water Ingress and Leaks
- New Electrical Installations
- Maintenance of Electrical Installations
- Building Insulation Performance
- New Builds Insulation Installtion Faults
- Underground water Leaks
- Underground Heating Pipes
- Landfil Site Underground Fire Detection

In all cases thermal imaging solutions when deployed from a UAV drone, offers a non-destructive, simple, and cost effectively solution to getting infrared analysis from hard to reach and difficult to see places.

Why Should Solar Panels be Professionally Maintained?

Why Should Solar Panels be Professionally Maintained? Over the years, panels can suffer faults that remain invisible to the naked eye but which impact their efficiency in terms of generating power. In serious situations these faults can even lead to a fire hazard. So it’s really important to keep up with the maintenance on your panels to keep your installation safe and also to make sure you are making the most of your investment. Obviously, the problem with regular and specialist inspection of your panels is that they are most likely to be in inaccessible areas of your home such as your roof. Having an actual human being up there to manually test each panel can be costly due to the health and safety precautions they have to take and potentially equipment they have to hire in order to gain access, plus you run the risk of damage to your roof structure during the inspection process. However, there is a simple and non-invasive solution that reduces inspection costs and means that if you d...

Solar Panel Faults - Common Types and Causes

Solar panels are a popular and efficient source of renewable energy that can last for decades. However, like any other technology, they are not immune to faults. Identifying and fixing faults in solar panels is essential to ensure their long-term functionality. In this article, we will explore the common types of solar panel faults, their causes, and how to prevent them. Solar Panel Faults: Common Types Hot Spots A hot spot is a concentrated area of high temperature on a solar panel, usually across a single cell. It occurs when a section of the panel fails to convert solar energy into electricity and instead absorbs it, causing heating. Hot spots can lead to panel damage, reduce efficiency, and in extreme cases, potentially start a fire. PID (Potential Induced Degradation) PID is an electrical phenomenon that causes a significant drop in the output power of a solar module panel. It occurs when a voltage difference develops between the solar cells and the grounded frame, leading to a le...

The Crucial Role of Diodes in Solar Panels

Enhancing Energy Conversion and Preventing Damage: The Importance of Diodes in Solar Panels Solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular choice for generating clean and renewable energy. However, to ensure optimal energy conversion and efficient performance, it is crucial to understand the role of diodes in solar panels and the importance of detecting faults through thermal imaging. Diodes are semiconductor devices that allow the flow of current in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. In solar panels, diodes are essential for several reasons. Primarily, they prevent reverse current flow, ensuring that the energy generated by the solar cells is not wasted or lost. Without diodes, shaded or defective cells could draw current from the remaining functional cells, causing a significant drop in overall panel efficiency.
