The use of drones and thermal imaging have both been gaining massive popularity within the energy sector. The reduced human risk factor, accuracy and speed of delivery compared to conventional methods, with the added benefit of having digital records mean we can save time and money over the life of the asset. Solar farms can be inspected during normal operation so no costly down-time. From the air we can quickly and efficiently identify faults at a module level and a string level. When the weather is cooler and we can achieve a temperature difference internally and externally of 10 degrees or more we can complete heat loss surveys on domestic and industrial buildings. These are typically used to highlight missing insulation, poor installation, maintenance issues, thermal bridging and water ingress on flat roofs . |
