PROJECT QUALIFICATION

Conditions and operating boundaries

Environmental conditions, irradiance, wind, module condition and electrical loading affect thermography; method and output are confirmed during project qualification.

Client deliverables

Structured data for maintenance teams.

✓ Finding map
✓ RGB/IR imagery
✓ Anomaly register
✓ Technical report

CleanSky Engineering

From a thermal anomaly to a located finding

01

Inspection conditions

Before the flight, we agree access, the inspection objective and the available site and module references. Irradiance, wind, module condition and electrical loading affect thermal capture. Unsuitable conditions may require a different inspection window or a narrower scope.

02

RGB and thermal evidence

Drone thermography records thermal anomalies at module or string level. RGB overview and detail views provide visible context. A thermal anomaly is a finding for assessment, not by itself proof of a particular electrical fault.

03

Module and location reference

Findings are linked to RGB/IR images and the available module or array identifiers. A finding map or orthomosaic provides spatial context where included in the agreed scope. The location convention is agreed before capture.

04

Report for maintenance planning

The technical report connects each finding to its position, evidence, capture conditions and recommended follow-up. The anomaly register helps the maintenance team locate areas for further verification; it does not replace electrical testing.

How we work

From an engineering question to a maintenance decision.

01

Technical assessment

Objective, asset, constraints and required outcome.

02

Plan and safety

Method, RAMS/SORA, permissions and readiness.

03

Data capture

Controlled mission and ongoing quality checks.

04

Technical report

Findings, imagery, location and priorities.
