Solar Thermography Analysis as a Service

Solar thermography is the use of infrared thermal imaging to detect defects, hotspots, and performance losses in photovoltaic modules. It is the industry-standard inspection method for utility-scale solar, codified in the international standard IEC 62446-3 and required across EPC warranties, insurance claims, and asset transactions.

The bottleneck for most drone operators and solar O&M teams isn't capturing the imagery — it's turning that imagery into a compliant, defensible report. Analysis requires specialized software, IEC-certified interpretation, and standardized reporting. We provide exactly that, as a remote service.

You Capture. We Analyze.

Whether you operate a single drone or a fleet, you send us your radiometric thermal images and we return a complete IEC 62446-3 compliant inspection report — anomaly inventory, severity classification, power-loss estimates, and remediation recommendations — typically within 48 to 72 hours.

Because the work is data-based, location is irrelevant. We serve solar thermography needs for operators across the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and worldwide. All communication is in English, and every report is white-label ready for delivery to your own clients.

How Our Solar Thermography Service Works

You already own the drone and the camera. You don't need an in-house thermography analyst, expensive software, or IEC certification. That's our part.

1

You Fly

Capture radiometric thermal imagery of your array with any DJI or FLIR system under standard inspection conditions. We provide a flight checklist to ensure IEC-valid data.

2

You Upload

Send your image set via secure transfer link. Radiometric JPEGs, R-JPEGs, or full datasets — we handle the formats. Include site capacity and module layout.

3

We Analyze

Our pipeline detects and classifies every thermal anomaly per IEC 62446-3 severity classes, with temperature differentials, location mapping, and power-loss estimates.

4

You Receive

A professional, white-label-ready inspection report within 48–72 hours — ready to deliver to your client, lender, or insurer under your own brand.

What Solar Thermography Detects

Every report classifies anomalies into IEC 62446-3 severity classes, with measured ΔT and recommended response.

01

Hotspots & Cell Failures

Localized temperature anomalies from cell cracks, shading, or defects. Flagged with measured ΔT and severity class.

02

Bypass Diode Failures

Full cell-string heating indicating bypassed diodes and imminent module replacement needs.

03

PID Degradation

Potential-induced degradation patterns on corner and edge cells, detected in early stages.

04

Delamination & Moisture

Encapsulant separation and water ingress signatures invisible to standard visual inspection.

05

Connection Faults

High-resistance junction boxes, MC4 connectors, and combiner faults — leading arc-flash precursors.

06

Soiling & Shading

String-level soiling patterns and inter-row shading geometry affecting specific generation.

What's in Every Report

  • IEC 62446-3 ComplianceFull environmental conditions log, equipment metadata, and severity classification per the standard.
  • Geolocated Anomaly InventoryEvery anomaly mapped by string/module ID or GPS, with class designation and measured ΔT.
  • Annotated Thermal ImageryCalibrated thermal images for each anomaly, marked and referenced to the inventory.
  • Power-Loss EstimateEstimated affected capacity (kWp) and annual generation loss in MWh attributable to findings.
  • Remediation RecommendationsPrioritized action list — monitor, repair, or replace — for each anomaly class.
  • White-Label ReadyDeliver the report to your client under your own brand. We stay invisible.

Why Outsource the Analysis

Drone operators and O&M teams are great at flying. Analysis and IEC-compliant reporting is a different skill set — and a bottleneck. We remove it.

0

Zero Overhead

No need to license analysis software, train a certified thermographer, or build reporting templates. You capture; we deliver the finished product.

48h

Fast Turnaround

Standard reports delivered in 48–72 hours. Your clients get answers quickly, and you free your team to fly the next site.

100%

Compliant & Defensible

Every report meets IEC 62446-3 — accepted by lenders, insurers, and acquirers. Reports stand up in warranty claims and due diligence.

Solar Thermography FAQ

What thermal cameras do you support?

Any radiometric thermal camera — DJI Zenmuse XT/XT2/H20T/H30T, FLIR systems, and most drone-mounted IR payloads. We work with radiometric JPEGs and R-JPEGs that embed per-pixel temperature data. If your camera produces non-radiometric output, we'll let you know before you fly.

Do I need to be IEC certified to capture the images?

No. We provide a simple capture checklist covering the IEC 62446-3 conditions — minimum irradiance, wind, and load requirements. As long as you follow it during the flight, the data will be valid for a compliant report. The certification and analysis responsibility sits with us.

How do I send large image sets?

After you request a quote, we send a secure upload link. Most operators use it to transfer full datasets — there's no file-size limit that matters for typical solar surveys. We confirm receipt and data validity before starting analysis.

Can I deliver the report under my own brand?

Yes. Every report is white-label ready. We can apply your logo and company details so your client sees your brand, not ours. You own the client relationship; we're the analysis engine behind it.

What's your turnaround time?

Standard turnaround is 48–72 hours from confirmed data receipt. Portfolio and recurring clients receive priority handling. Rush options are available when you need a report faster.

Where are you based and who do you serve?

We operate as a remote solar thermography analysis service worldwide. Because the work is data-based, your location doesn't matter — operators in the US, UK, Europe, and beyond use the same workflow. Communication is in English.
