How ScanPro’s PV solar module drone inspection work?
Aerial Survey
Aerial Survey entire solar farm capturing Infrared Thermali magery of Photovoltaic module condition – This may be donethrough multi-rotor or fixed wing drone technology.
Identify & Analyse
Identify module defects and potential anomalies captured during flight. – All defects are recorded by ScanPro’s field operators on to site drawings for closer analysis.
Ground based inspection
ScanPro will carry out a thorough ground based assessment of all modules located during aerial inspection using industrial grade Infrared thermal optics.
Data Recording
Record data to database and confirm location of affected modules – Engineers drawings are used to highlight location. All affected PV modules are marked with coloured spot indicator for future easy reference and help maintenance crews
Offsite Analysis
Off site analysis begins – ScanPro’s engineers begin constructing analysis and report.
Report Compilation
Report compiled and delivered to client – Within 14 days of completing aerial solar farm scan, report and data captured during inspection is delivered to client.
