Drones are useful in spotting major site issues, such as vegetation management, poor drainage, and soil erosion. Thermal cameras reduce maintenance costs and increase power generation by detecting:
- Module faults, hot spots, diode failures, shattered or dirty modules, coating, and fogging issues, and junction box heating.
- String and System faults: Wiring issues, charge controller issues, and inverter and fuse failures.
- Racking and balance of the system.
