Every module, at module resolution.

Full-array imagery that finds soiling, physical damage, vegetation encroachment and mounting failures, located against the as-built record from the original survey.

What production data cannot show you

A dip in output is a question. Imagery of every module is the answer, with a location attached.

1

Soiling

Dirt and debris patterns that quietly cost output across whole rows.

2

Physical damage

Cracked glass, displaced modules and damaged racking, found before they spread.

3

Mounting and vegetation

Loose attachments, failed ballast and encroaching growth, located to the module.

What you get back

Findings you can act on, not a folder of photos.

Imagery

  • Full-array imagery at module resolution
  • Geolocated orthomosaic of the roof
  • Captured against the as-built layout

Findings

  • Soiling, damage and mounting issues classified
  • Located to row and position
  • Compared with prior visits to show progression
