Can you identify PID using aerial thermography? – Yes, our inspection service is one of the best ways to identify PID in its earliest stages of development.
Typically indefinable as a cell level heating pattern emanating from the frame of the module and from the negative end of the module string, our service will often identify PID before it becomes visible in the string monitoring or in your PR calculation.
Above’s advanced levels of anomaly detection uncover even the faintest signs of suspected PID. Up close and detailed, our video capture is the most effective method of detecting module anomalies. The early signs of PID can be very subtle and easily missed using alternative methods. Take a look at this module, showing early indications of suspected PID. We have detected this anomaly with a temperature difference of less than ONE DEGREE CELSIUS!
Using Above’s SolarGain reports, you can quickly gain module insights through advanced analytics, monitor module health, and prioritise follow up actions at scale. The early identification of this degradation issue allows you to regenerate and protect your PV plant. Read more about PID and how it can be identified here.
