Within the range of industrial inspections offered by Drone by Drone, there are photovoltaic field inspection services for their correct assembly and maintenance.
The drone operating company located in Bilbao has always been characterized by having the latest technology in UAS, allowing us to offer our clients the most advanced tools.
Drones allow us to observe phenomena from the air that cannot be seen from the ground. Drone inspections using high-resolution radiometric and visible spectrum FLIR thermal imaging (or thermal) cameras save maintenance costs on infrastructure, such as solar energy fields, and significantly save time in maintenance. Drone by Drone has the latest advances in maximum resolution radiometric thermal imaging cameras in both multicopter drones and fixed wing drones.
The advantages are multiple, since with a single drone flight we achieve:
- Check on screen in real time while we fly
- Decrease in human resources used
- Decrease in production costs
The main pathologies in solar panels are:
- Active bypass diode
- Hot chained network (string)
- Inverted polarity chained network (string)
- Potential Induced Degradation (PID)
- Hot module
- Short circuit module
Subsequently, in the generated reports, you can easily locate and see the areas of defects or pathologies in the solar panels, and identify them, which at first glance go unnoticed and are only visible due to the heating of the defective elements. With proper processing using specialized software, in which Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Vision techniques are combined, detailed reports of defects, locations and temperature studies are obtained.
