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...

The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices

Guardians of Sustainability: The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices Sustainability has become a central focus in the construction and maintenance of buildings, and building thermography emerges as a powerful ally in achieving eco-friendly practices. In this article, we delve into the transformative role of building thermography in promoting sustainability, from energy efficiency improvements to the identification of hidden environmental hazards. Building Thermography as an Environmental Watchdog Building thermography, leveraging infrared technology, acts as a vigilant guardian for sustainability in the construction industry. By capturing and visualising heat patterns, thermal imaging identifies areas of inefficiency and waste, guiding efforts to reduce a building’s carbon footprint. According to a report by the World Green Building Council, incorporating thermal imaging in construction projects can lead to an average reduction of 25-30% in energy consumption. Thi...
