Domestic PV Solar Panels at a Time of High Energy Prices

It can’t have escaped anyone’s notice that energy prices are soaring and predicted to rise even further later in the year. So, if you’re lucky enough to already have solar panels powering your home, there’s never been a better time to check that they’re working at peak efficiency. You’ll want to be sure that you’re squeezing the most out of your investment as we head into the summer months.

Luckily, inspecting your panels to identify any potential faults or problems couldn’t be any easier with one of our state-of-the-art drones. Equipped with advanced thermal cameras, one quick flight is usually all it takes to make sure that everything is working well, and you are reaping the benefits of your solar panel installation.

After the flight data has been processed back at our offices, you’ll receive an easy-to-understand health check report to you can see at a glance if you have any maternity issues that need addressing. There’s no need to call in a repair company if there are no problems found – you can simply relax and let the sun shine down and save you money.

Drone thermal inspections are quick and simple in the hands of our qualified and insured pilots. There’s no need to disrupt your day to get a comprehensive solar panel health check.

Qualified Drone Thermographers
Owning a drone and a thermal camera is only the start of being able to conduct solar panel inspections and provide meaningful data. Our thermographers are qualified to Level 2 Thermography standards so knowledgeable in the conditions and relevant techniques required to collect accurate data. Without this understanding, you’re very likely to simply be producing coloured pictures with no real meaning behind them. Our experience and qualifications mean that the information that we provide you adheres to recognised standards BS EN ISO 62446 & ISO 18436.

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...

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...

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.
