Thermal IEC Complaint Solar Inspection in Sharpness

Thermal IEC Complaint Solar Inspection in Sharpness - Solar Panel Thermal Inspection

Our client asked us to complete a solar PC Inspection of a commercial roof top installation in Sharpness. Along with the usual drone planning requirements and risk assessments to conduct a safe and legal flight, the location was close to Berkeley Nuclear Power Station which required additional flight permissions. The inspection took place during a very busy August when we were out conducting Photovoltaic Solar Panel inspections most days each week. IEC compliant inspections should only be performed by certified thermographers who understand the environmental conditions and thermographic calibration requirements to ensure the data collected is reliable. One of the principal environmental conditions necessary is a minimum of 600 w/m2 of sun irradiance to ensure the panels are fully under load. This is why inspections are usually completed in the summer months, from late spring to early autumn, when clear sunny skies can be more relied upon.

The data collected from the inspection is then reported to our client in a formal structured document showing the anomalies and faults found, clearly describing their locations using a nomenclature that shows where the faults can be found on the panels.
Solar Panel Inspections can be conducted quickly and efficiently between the two hours either side of solar midday, that is approximately 10am to 2pm. Installations should be inspected regularly to ensure optimum operating efficiency. Usually this is bi-annually, however it is important to check with your insurance company on what they expect.

Solar Panel Inspections
We are certified and approved drone pilots and work throughout the UK to provide both aerial and ground based thermographic Surveys. Fully insured and certified by the CAA with enhanced permissions for reduced distances from uninvolved people, both day and night-time flights. We hold a level 2 thermography certification.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging During Building Surveys

Beyond the Surface: Discovering Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging during Building Surveys Building surveys have evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in thermal imaging technology and the transformative impact of thermal imaging during building surveys, uncovering concealed issues that traditional methods might overlook. The Power of Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging enables a deeper understanding of a building’s thermal performance. By capturing infrared radiation, these cameras reveal temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-destructive technique is particularly valuable for identifying hidden issues affecting a building’s efficiency and structural integrity. Harnessing thermal imaging technology during surveys provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s insulation, HVAC systems, and potential air leaks. This proactive approach goes beyond the surface, allowing for precise problem detection before they escalate. Unearthing Insulation Deficie...
