Thermal imaging testing is a technique used to detect defects or power generation anomalies by measuring the surface temperature of operating PV modules. Its key advantage is that it provides non-destructive analysis, allowing for accurate assessment of the power generation status without interfering with the system's operation.

Aerial inspections are conducted using drones equipped with IR and RGB cameras. These drones fly over PV modules, capturing high-resolution images. The collected data is then processed through the IRUAV PLATFORM, utilizing AI analysis and the cloud visualization system to generate inspection results.

Aerial inspections are primarily conducted as part of the regular maintenance plan for PV plants. While inspections are typically performed at least once a year, more frequent inspections can help identify and mitigate potential issues at an early stage, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Through aerial inspections, various faults in PV modules can be detected, including: Open circuit and short circuit (internal and external) Diode conduction issues and diode short circuits Hot spots caused by broken cells, shading, or pollution High-temperature anomalies in the junction box These faults are categorized into twelve types based on treatment methods. For detailed classifications and solutions, please refer to the relevant documentation. Technical articles.

Aerial inspection enables rapid scanning of large areas, reducing inspection time by 90% compared to manual methods. Even in hard-to-reach locations, drones capture detailed IR and RGB images, ensuring comprehensive inspections while minimizing safety risks for personnel.

Aerial inspection enables early detection of defective modules and inefficient areas, allowing for timely replacements and repairs. This proactive approach ensures maximum power generation throughout the system's 20-year operational lifespan.

Data-driven maintenance management simply describes the combination of inspections performed to ensure the performance and safety of the solar power system and the maintenance activities performed based on the inspection data. The IRUAV APP contains on-site third-party module AI inspection and analysis results, and disposition recommendations. The maintenance log that records the results of the maintenance team's disposal allows investors or supervisors to track the progress of improvement of factors affecting power generation, which can effectively improve the efficiency of maintenance, reduce the cost of maintenance and increase the return on investment of the solar power system.
