Modules & array sections
Thermal patterns across module surfaces, anomalous modules and recurring anomalies within agreed sections of the installation.
PV Thermography for Solar Parks and Commercial Installations
Inspect large areas. Assess the findings.
For solar parks and larger commercial rooftop installations, we combine surveys of the module arrays with targeted ground-based inspections. You receive findings linked to specific modules or locations, along with recommendations for further technical investigation.

The task
A thermal image is not yet a fault diagnosis.
Shading, soiling, reflections and operating conditions can produce thermal patterns similar to technical faults. Suitable measurement conditions and an assessment of each finding are therefore integral to the inspection, supplemented by further electrical tests where appropriate.
What we inspect
Typical inspection scope.
The precise scope depends on your equipment and the task we agree together.
Electrical infrastructure
Inverter connections, combiner boxes, distribution equipment and transformer stations.
Detailed & follow-up inspections
Targeted ground-based images of anomalous areas and follow-up inspections after remedial work.
Before the visit
Good results start
with good planning.
Thermography records the temperature distribution of visible surfaces. Load, surface properties and the surrounding conditions affect what can be concluded.
- Weather & irradiance
- Suitable, preferably stable solar irradiance, dry modules and appropriate wind conditions are essential for meaningful results.
- Operation & identification
- Review the operating conditions, module layout, module and inverter data, and any known anomalies before the inspection.
- Flight & access
- Clarify the flight area, local restrictions and required permissions. Ground-based inspections and aerial surveys are planned separately and combined where useful.
What you receive
Findings you
can act on.
You receive a clear record of where anomalies were found, the inspection conditions and recommendations for further diagnosis or follow-up. Thermography alone does not establish a specific energy yield loss or automatically substantiate a warranty claim.
- Visible-light and thermal images with clear asset identification
- Technical assessment and recommendations for next steps
- Recorded measurement conditions and inspection limitations
Good to know
Before we start.
We are happy to discuss any other questions with you.
Do you cover our site?
Our service area covers all of Germany, with clients from Passau to Flensburg. With flexible scheduling, we can combine several client visits in the same region and offer lower travel costs. We have locations in Würzburg, Bonn, and Berlin.
Can every appointment go ahead regardless of the weather?
No. The usefulness of the measurements depends on factors including irradiance, wind and operating conditions. If conditions are unsuitable, we will agree the next steps with you.
What are the limits of the inspection?
A thermal image without a visible anomaly does not prove that an installation is free of faults. Concealed, obstructed or insufficiently loaded components can only be assessed to a limited extent. Thermography complements other required inspections.
Your next step
What would you
like to inspect?
Your site, the equipment involved and the inspection objective are enough to start the conversation.
