Las cámaras termográficas de FLIR contribuyen a garantizar la impecable calidad de las placas solares de SOLON

Con una planta de energía solar en su tejado, puede convertir la energía del sol en electricidad. Y en dinero; las plantas de energía solar son una inversión lucrativa. Sin embargo, la clave para conseguir la máxima rentabilidad y obtener un alto rendimiento durante décadas, es una gran calidad. La placa solar, la parte más importante de un sistema solar, debe ser fiable y seguir produciendo electricidad durante años hasta el final de su vida útil.

Thermal imaging inspections of roof-mounted solar panels FLIR T640 mounted on retractable pole allows to inspect hard to reach areas

As solar panels are becoming increasingly affordable, and therefore increasingly profitable, many residential homes have been fitted with solar panels in recent years. Mounting solar panels on the roof has advantages in avoiding shadows and maximizing the amount of sunlight that falls upon them, but there’s a downside as well. The high location makes it difficult to reach for thermal imaging maintenance inspections. One company came up with a creative solution to this problem: mounting the camera on a retractable mast.

Inspecting roof mounted solar panels with thermal imaging

The sales of solar panels are soaring, which helps to reduce CO2 emissions at electricity plants. Over time solar panels may develop defects which can be easily fixed if detected on time, but can cause a severe drop in energy production and in some cases even start a fire if left unchecked. That is why more and more solar panel installers cooperate with experienced thermographers that offer regular thermal imaging inspections to ensure the safety and effective deployment of solar systems.

Thermal imaging cameras: fast and reliable for testing solar panels

The use of thermal imaging cameras for solar panel evaluation offers several advantages. Anomalies can clearly be seen on a crisp thermal image and - unlike most other methods - thermal cameras can be used to scan installed solar panels during normal operation. Finally, thermal cameras also allow to scan large areas within a short time frame.
