Thermography and PV Systems

Both handheld and aerial thermography play large roles in PV system operations and maintenance (O&M), including preventative and reactive applications. So much can be easily – and quickly – learned about issues with PV arrays via aerial thermography, whether drone-based or fixed wing (of course it still takes on-site personnel to do anything about it!). And a thermal camera in hand is critical to verifying the integrity of electrical terminations and other equipment - plus they make a great troubleshooting tool. See why IR cameras have become the “go-to” tool for many PV system O&M activities.
