Drone Solar Panel Inspection with Thermal Imaging
Walking a solar plant to find faults is slow, risky and incomplete. GreenScan AI flies thermal and high-resolution cameras over your plant, uses AI to tag every anomaly, and delivers a clear report so your O&M team fixes the right panels first.
What we do
- Thermal hotspot and cell-fault detection
- Cracked, broken and damaged panel detection
- Bypass diode, string and junction-box overheating
- Soiling and dust mapping to plan cleaning
- Vegetation and shading checks
- Aerial survey and mapping of the whole plant
- Reports with fault location, severity and recommended action (IEC 62446-3 style)
How it works
1. Survey and plan
We map the plant and plan flight paths for the right irradiance and weather.
2. Fly
Thermal and RGB cameras capture every row, with minimal downtime.
3. AI analysis
Anomalies are detected, tagged and ranked by severity.
4. Report
You receive locations, images and a repair priority list.
Where we serve
Cities and nearby solar and wind hubs, with fast mobilisation for emergencies.
Frequently asked questions
Why use drones instead of manual inspection?
A drone covers megawatts in hours, reaches every row safely and records exact panel locations, so nothing is missed and nobody walks hot panels.
What faults can thermal drone inspection find?
Hotspots, failed cells, bypass diode faults, string issues, cracked glass, loose connections and heavy soiling that costs you energy.
How often should a solar plant be inspected?
Most owners inspect after commissioning, once or twice a year, and after storms or unexplained performance drops. We can recommend a schedule for your plant.
