Using Drones to Inspect Solar Panels on a Roof

Solar panel inspections can be a time intensive exercise when you are using a ground operative to check each panel individually in a solar farm field.However, when the solar panels are installed on a pitched roof, the problems of checking panel health become compounded. An operative who is required to check roof mounted panels with a hand held thermal imaging device will need either scaffolding or an elevated platform to gain access to the panels and, as well as occurring additional expense, these still might not be enough to allow access to central panels. This could mean that these panels cannot be assessed or there will be additional risk to the panels themselves as the operative has to move across them in order to carry out the inspection. However, add a drone equipped with a state of the art thermal imaging camera and place this drone in the hands of a qualified thermographer, and the process becomes not only faster, but simpler, safer and more cost effective.Drone Media Imaging were recently engaged to carry out an inspection of a several large solar panel arrays mounted on both sides of four pitched roofs and we were able to capture detailed images from a short series of flights with no disruption to the surrounding businesses. The resulting report detailed both current faults as well as developing faults so that the panel owners could make the relevant decisions about the maintenance that they required in order to keep their panels working at peak efficiency and maximise their investment.Just get in touch to discuss your solar panel inspection requirements and find out how drones can make regular, detailed inspection a reality for your business at very cost effective prices. #aerialthermalimagery #droneinspections #dronethermalinspection #licenseddroneoperator #qualifiedthermographer #solarfarminspection #solarfarmthermalinspection

Introduction to Building Thermography: Detecting Non-Visible Defects

Understanding Building Thermography: An Introduction to Detecting Non-Visible Defects Building thermography is a powerful tool used in the field of construction and maintenance to identify non-visible defects in structures. It involves the use of thermal imaging cameras to capture and analyse the heat patterns emitted by buildings. By detecting variations in temperature, building thermography can reveal hidden issues that are not visible to the naked eye. This technology has revolutionised the way we inspect and maintain buildings, allowing for early detection of problems and preventing costly repairs. The Science Behind Building Thermography: How it Helps Identify Non-Visible Defects Building thermography is based on the principle that all objects emit infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye. Thermal imaging cameras detect this radiation and convert it into a visible image, where different colors represent different temperatures. By analysing these images, qualified th...

Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings

Unveiling the Hidden Costs: Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings In the intricate world of commercial building design and construction, one often-overlooked factor plays a crucial role in energy efficiency – thermal bridging. This phenomenon, where heat easily transfers through the fabric of a building, not only impacts the comfort of its occupants but also significantly increases operational costs. The effects of thermal bridging on heat loss and its financial implications for commercial buildings, can be assessed by the itilisation of sophisticated technique of thermal imaging used to identify and mitigate this issue. Understanding Thermal Bridging: Thermal bridging occurs when a conductive material provides a pathway for heat to bypass the insulation, creating a direct route for heat to escape or enter a building. In commercial buildings, common thermal bridges include structural elements like steel or concrete connections, as well as poorly insulated junctions between walls a...
