Thermographic and High-Definition Inspection

Above pioneered the use of aerial thermography solar inspections and is still the industry leader today.  We are known for our high quality and can detect thermal anomalies in solar PV modules down to a cellular level. Above’s thermographic and high-definition inspection is both a cost-effective and time-efficient solution to detect potential performance issues. Above holds patents that ensure our inspections give accurate and high-quality results. Our reporting platform SolarGain displays the inspection results through analytics dashboards, an interactive geospatial map, and a filterable anomaly list. Above is an expert in conducting thermographic solar inspections to meet IEC standards.

Above can capture an IEC-compliant thermal image of every module down to a cellular level.  Our patented normalisation methodology enables us to collect the most accurate data available. Quality assurance is carried out by a level 1 thermographer to ISO 18436 standards whilst working with ISO 9001:2015 processes.

Above collects high-definition imagery at the same time as thermal data collection for accurate and reliable visual root cause identification.

SolarGain inspection reports are packed with data-rich information that gives you the ability to act on testing and inspection data. Collect, analyse, and visualise your inspection data all in one place. Prioritise your work by determining which assets are most critical to the overall health of your portfolio and understand the true status of each asset.

Compare multiple inspection reports within a series of data visualisations. Understand the evolution of each module’s state and identify trends and correlations in your thermal data.

Build targeted anomaly task lists from your latest Thermographic and HD Inspection report. Easily share tailored data sets with third-parties. Track the status of each anomaly’s resolution progress, allowing field teams to resolve anomalies and add root causes in the field.

Designed in collaboration with leading EU research centre C.R.E.S.T, this tool uniquely demonstrates the combined impact of module thermal anomalies on your solar plant. Using your electrical system design we provide an instant estimation of the yield and revenue loss associated with module thermal anomalies.
