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.

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...
