Flytrisk UAS

Completed a couple more solar and roof inspections this morning. The Standard Inspection comes with a visual and thermal examination of your solar panels, a general roof condition overview, and a detailed report in PDF format with the results, observations, and recommendations.

Do you know how your solar panels are performing? Newer systems often include micro-inverters that allow monitoring of individual panels, but some systems use string inverters that combine entire sections of panels. When damage or failures occur in individual panels, it can be difficult to tell the difference between any number of factors causing a decrease in performance and actual panel failure. Thermal imaging inspections can be a solution to that problem. This picture is of an actual solar panel array where I discovered almost 30 panels with some degree of failure, many of which causing critical failure of performance. The entire system was running through two inverters. This, coupled with a lack of vigilance in watching performance allowed these failures to go unidentified for a long time. Only my thermal imaging equipped drone was able to identify the problem which was likely costing the client tens of thousands in lost energy production.

Ortho mosaic photography can be an evaluable tool when needing to map or survey a large area. Software is used to stitch together dozens or even hundreds of images to create one seamless image. These orthos can be gathered using a variety of sensor packages. Currently, Flytrisk UAS can gather both RGB (visible light) and thermal imagery.
