SERVICE — INSPECTION & DRONE
Thermographic drone inspection
Detect the invisible. Locate the defects. Optimise the performance of your photovoltaic installations.
§ 01 — A FAST, NON-DESTRUCTIVE DIAGNOSIS
MaythEG offers aerial inspection of photovoltaic plants, rooftops and fields, using a drone equipped for thermal and visual imaging.
Thermography reveals temperature differences that point to anomalies, which are not always visible during a conventional inspection.
§ 02 — ANOMALIES WE LOOK FOR
Thermal / electrical defects
- Hotspots and abnormal overheating
- Under-performing modules and sub-strings
- String anomalies and out-of-service areas
- Overheating of connections or equipment
Visual / operational defects
- Visibly damaged or cracked modules
- Soiling, shading and obstacles
- Visible degradation and layout defects
- Areas requiring a targeted field inspection
