Services
Solar Panel Inspection
Our solar panel inspections use aerial thermography and drone technology to detect electrical faults, shading issues, and module degradation. Certified engineers analyze infrared data to identify bypass diode failures, PID effects, and connection problems. Clients receive actionable reports with geo-referenced findings to optimize system performance and warranty claims.
Wind Turbine Inspection
Wind turbine inspections employ UAVs for visual and thermal analysis of blade integrity. We identify lightning strikes, delamination, and wear patterns while eliminating fall risks. High-resolution imaging and 3D mapping enable precise repair planning, reducing downtime by 70% compared to traditional rope access methods.
Thermal Imaging Survey
Thermal imaging surveys detect temperature anomalies in electrical systems and solar arrays. Our level-2 certified thermographers use FLIR sensors to identify switchboard hotspots, insulation failures, and PV module inefficiencies. This non-invasive method prevents fire risks and ensures compliance with AS/NZS 3000 standards.
Electroluminescence Testing
Electroluminescence testing reveals micro-cracks and cell fractures in solar modules. By applying voltage and capturing emitted light, we diagnose internal damage invisible to conventional inspections. This IEC 62446-3 compliant process ensures accurate performance benchmarking and warranty validation.
UAV Drone Inspection
UAV drone inspections cover large-scale assets with 3cm GSD precision. Fixed-wing and multi-rotor platforms capture 4K video and thermal data for infrastructure monitoring. Our CASA-certified pilots conduct safe, cost-effective surveys of solar farms, transmission lines, and industrial structures across Australia.
