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 do have faults that need to be rectified, that personnel are deployed with all the information they need to carry out repairs in a targeted fashion. Why Use Thermography and Infrared Drone Cameras to Inspect Solar Panels? Faults on a solar panel can be detected by a drone carrying a thermal imaging infrared camera – these faults will show up clearly in an image taken under the right conditions if they are there. A thermal equipped drone will fly over a solar installation while it is in operation (the panel needs to be under full load at the time of the survey) so there is no down time. A drone can cover large areas in a short time and take both thermograms (heat based images) and standard images at the same time so any faults can be immediately pinpointed within the installation. Where Can You Hire a Drone Thermal Imaging Survey? To find out more about how drone thermography can be used to assess the effectiveness of your solar panel installation of any size – from a simple roof top installation through to large scale solar farms – please just get in touch with Drone Media Imaging and we are happy to talk through your requirements. #solarpanel ##solarpanelinspection ##solarpanelinspectionbydrone #dronethermography #aerialthermography

Why Use Thermography and Infrared Drone Cameras to Inspect Solar Panels?
Faults on a solar panel can be detected by a drone carrying a thermal imaging infrared camera which is operated by a qualified aerial thermographer. These faults will show up clearly in an image taken under the right conditions if they are there. A thermal equipped drone will fly over a solar installation while it is in operation (the panel needs to be under full load at the time of the survey) so there is no down time. A drone can cover large areas in a short time and take both thermograms (heat based images) and standard images at the same time so any faults can be immediately pinpointed within the installation.

Mitigating Fire Hazards and the Importance of Solar Panel Maintenance

Mitigating Fire Hazards – Solar Panel Maintenance Solar panels have gained significant popularity as a renewable energy solution in recent years. With their ability to harness the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity, solar panels contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. However, it is crucial to understand that like any other technology, solar panels require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and, most importantly, to minimize the risk of fire hazards. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why solar panels can catch fire if not adequately maintained. We will delve into the various factors that can contribute to fire incidents, emphasizing the significance of proactive maintenance and regular inspections to mitigate these risks effectively. Electrical Overload and Faulty Wiring One of the primary causes of solar panel fires is electrical overload resulting from faulty wiring. Over time, exposure to environmental factors such as heat, moisture,...

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...
