In this video we use a drone with thermal imaging cameras to show you footage of what photovoltaic (PV) string anomalies look like during an inspection. These string anomalies can be detrimental to solar farm production, reducing revenue and increasing costs, making it very important to locate these offline, damaged, or underperforming strings.

A solar cell is a unit array within a PV generator. It contains solar cells connected in series to build the driving force and in parallel to supply the current needed. A series of modules connected together comprise a solar string.

Finding these solar string anomalies is always a high priority in a solar inspection because issues with one string can cause all associated panels to go offline or underperform. As we move through this inspection you will be able to see the brighter areas containing multiple panels, these are the string anomalies found. As we pan across the solar farm with a thermal camera you will be able to visualize how many string anomalies were found during this inspection.
