Non-invasive inspection
Infrared imaging allows accessible modules, connections and electrical equipment to be observed while operating under suitable conditions, without physical contact.
Infrared inspection
See abnormal heat patterns before choosing the next step
Infrared thermography helps identify unusual temperature patterns across solar modules, terminations and accessible electrical equipment while the system is operating under suitable conditions.
Overview
See abnormal heat patterns before choosing the next step
A thermographic survey records thermal patterns that may point to a condition worth investigating, such as a hot connection, uneven module behaviour or abnormal heating in electrical equipment. Results depend on operating and environmental conditions, so we document relevant context alongside observations.
Important contextThermography indicates temperature patterns; it does not by itself establish the root cause of every anomaly.
Inspection scope
What the field work can include.
The final method depends on access, system state, safety requirements and the objective agreed before testing.

How to interpret the service
Useful evidence starts with the right context.
Early heat-pattern detection
Unexpected hot spots or uneven temperature patterns can help direct attention to modules, terminations or equipment that may need closer investigation.
Quality and preventive care
Recorded thermal observations can support post-installation review, preventive maintenance planning and comparison during later inspections.
Electrical-system context
A useful survey considers operating load, irradiance, access, viewing angle and relevant environmental conditions alongside the thermal image.
Before the site visit
Questions about this test.
Thermography shows temperature patterns across accessible modules, connections and electrical equipment under the conditions present during the survey. An unusual pattern can guide further investigation, but the thermal image alone does not always establish the root cause.
Some observations can be completed while equipment is operating, while other tests require controlled isolation or de-energisation. We identify access, safety and shutdown needs during scoping so the site can plan the work appropriately.
The agreed output can include the scope, relevant site conditions, observations, recorded measurements, supporting images where applicable, limitations and recommended next actions. The exact report format is confirmed before the visit.
