See what the eye can't.

Four thermal survey types.

• ✓
  Thermal roof survey
  Identify wet insulation, membrane failure, and missing batten or insulation runs. Catch defects before they become claims.
• ✓
  Thermal heat loss survey
  Whole-building scan to identify thermal weak points. Output suitable for retrofit planning and EPC support.
• ✓
  Thermal BREEAM survey
  Compliance-grade capture for sustainability assessment. Calibrated equipment, certified operators, audit-ready evidence.
• ✓
  Thermal mapping
  Large-area thermal orthomosaics for solar farms, district heating networks, and industrial estates.

Spot the failing panels before they fail.

Thermal drone surveys of solar PV arrays catch defects long before they become bigger losses. A failing cell, a bypass-diode short, a delaminating module, a soiling pattern, all show up clearly in thermal imagery before any visual symptom appears or yield drops noticeably.

• ✓
  Hotspot detection
  Individual cells running 10°C+ above the module mean. Caught early before the laminate degrades, the bypass diode fails, or the array runs hot enough to delaminate.
• ✓
  Bypass diode failures
  A failed bypass diode means an entire substring runs at higher resistance. Thermal signature is unmistakable. Identified, GPS-stamped, ready for module-level replacement.
• ✓
  String-level mismatch
  Whole-string temperature anomalies indicate connector failure, cabling damage, or inverter mismatch. The thermal pattern shows you which string, and where on it.
• ✓
  Soiling and shading
  Persistent thermal anomalies caused by bird droppings, lichen, debris, or partial shading. The pattern tells you whether it's a cleaning job or a routing problem.
• ✓
  Micro-cracks and PID
  Potential Induced Degradation and micro-crack patterns visible in calibrated thermal capture before they affect yield. Catch in early warranty, not after.
• ✓
  Whole-array thermal map
  Geo-referenced thermal orthomosaic of the full array, with every defect pinned to a module ID. Hosted on AIM Platform for the O&M team and the asset owner.

Catching a single failed bypass diode in a 5 MW farm saves typically £3,000-£6,000 in lost generation over a year before the inverter alerts on the string. A single thermal flight pays for itself many times over on commercial PV.
