Solar Panel Inspections

IEC COMPLIANT SOLAR INSPECTIONS

Thermal aerial imaging has saved the solar industry $1.7 billion since 2020.

Numerous studies & organizations estimate that PV inspections are 97% more efficient using drones

Are your solar panels working as well as they should?

Solar panels might look healthy at first glance, but thermal images don’t lie. Our clients are always surprised how many of their panels are working at below capacity– or are offline altogether!

Just a quick thermal scan can reveal dozens of issues with solar panels such as hot spots, failing diodes & wires, offline panels, and shading issues. We create a comprehensive report that helps solar farms, businesses with panels, and homeowners get the most out of their panels.

Solar panels should be inspected about twice per year, and cleaned just as often. Terraerial is one of the only drone companies in Michigan who offer both IEC-compliant solar inspections & quality solar panel cleaning.

Thermal drones allow us to see the temperature profile of just about anything– from varying distances, angles and heights. This makes it perfect for solar panel inspections in Michigan. Our powerful thermal cameras ensure we can reach difficult places and get a sweeping view of an entire project. This means our clients save a lot of valuable time and money.

Our pilots are experience in thermal imaging & reporting. All our solar panel inspections are compliant under IEC-62446-3:2017.

Solar panel cleaning for Michigan businesses

Terraerial offers affordable cleaning for solar panels in Michigan & the Midwest. It is generally recommended to clean panels at least twice per year. We use a biodegradable solution that is eco-friendly, non-abrasive, and we do not use high PSI power washers that can damage your system.

We offer cleaning & inspection services to:

  • Homeowners who just have a few panels to offset their electric bill
  • Businesses who utilize solar infrastructure for their operations
  • Large-scale solar parks for utility-grade electricity generation

In a year, solar panels lose 10-20% efficiency from dust, dirt, and bird droppings ALONE.

Cleaning & an inspection keeps your panels free from debris, finds issues early, and saves you repair costs down the road

We do both one-off projects and long-term contracts.

If you’re looking for an aerial operator who wants to see your solar system flourish, we have your back.
