Smart Pv Inspections For Solar Maintenance

Optimising Solar Panel Maintenance with FairFleet’s PV Inspections

Solar power systems require consistent monitoring and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. FairFleet’s cutting-edge drone technology is revolutionising the way photovoltaic (PV) inspections are conducted, offering unparalleled efficiency and precision. Here’s how our approach delivers exceptional results for solar panel maintenance.

Thermal and RGB Camera Inspections

FairFleet utilises advanced thermal and RGB camera-equipped drones to perform comprehensive inspections of solar installations. Thermal imaging is particularly effective for detecting energy losses and safety-critical defects without disrupting the operation of the solar plant. Unlike traditional methods, thermographic inspections do not require disconnecting module wiring, ensuring uninterrupted functionality during the process. This makes it an ideal solution for identifying issues such as heat anomalies and other operational inefficiencies.

AI-Powered Anomaly Detection

Our inspections are enhanced by AI-driven algorithms that precisely identify and locate a wide range of potential issues, including:

• Disconnected or incorrectly connected module strings

• Defective connectors

• Overheated cells and hotspots

• Faulty solder joints and shading issues

• Malfunctioning or overheated bypass diodes

• Blocked cell strings

Additionally, our system highlights indications of potential-induced degradation (PID), ensuring that even subtle performance declines are caught early. This level of accuracy enables solar operators to address issues swiftly, minimizing downtime and maximising energy output.

Interactive Damage Visualisation

FairFleet offers an interactive online platform where clients can view detailed summaries of all detected anomalies across their solar installations. Key features of this platform include:

• Visual Representation: Anomalies are displayed using color-coded markers, making it easy to prioritise and address issues.

• Data Export: Technicians can download detailed maps of the identified faults.

• Collaborative Reporting: Custom reports can be generated and shared with colleagues or technicians, streamlining the repair process and enhancing communication.

Efficiency and Precision for Solar Operators

By integrating drone technology, thermal imaging, and AI-powered analysis, FairFleet provides solar operators with a comprehensive and efficient solution for PV maintenance. Our approach not only reduces inspection time but also eliminates the need for costly manual inspections and ensures the safety of maintenance teams.

With FairFleet, maintaining your solar assets becomes seamless and data-driven, empowering you to maximize performance and minimize risks. Experience the future of solar panel inspections with FairFleet today.
