The value is not the heatmap.
It is knowing where to act next.

Locate unusual patterns. Add visual evidence. Connect findings with property inspections, utility asset inspections and construction site documentation.
01 / Detect

Detect thermal anomalies.

Drone thermal imaging detects surface temperature patterns that standard aerial photography can miss.

  • Survey roofs, solar arrays and accessible equipment with thermal and visual imagery in the same mission.
  • Plan capture around weather, sunlight and operating load so useful contrast is visible.
  • Reduce time spent accessing hard-to-reach assets and focus follow-up where it matters.

02 / Verify

Verify thermal findings.

A thermal anomaly is a starting point. Context turns it into a useful finding.

  • Match each area of interest to visual imagery and a location your team can identify.
  • Review reflections, surface materials and operating conditions before assigning a priority.
  • Flag where a moisture test, electrical check or on-site inspection is needed to confirm the cause.

Thermal inspection reports.

Give your team a clear route from finding to follow-up.

  • Keep thermal evidence, visual context, asset references and observations together.
  • Organize findings by location and review priority for maintenance planning.
  • Build a dated baseline for later inspections and post-repair comparisons.

critical assets.

Solar, building, electrical and HVAC thermal inspections for asset owners and facilities teams across the United States.

WORK WITH THE RECORD

Solar farms & rooftop PV

Solar panel thermal inspections screen arrays for abnormal cell, module and string temperature patterns. Use the results to direct electrical testing, maintenance and closer visual inspection.

Discuss your project
05 / What it finds

Know where to look closer.

Six practical inspection targets. Each finding connects a thermal observation to a focused follow-up.

Solar PV01

Solar panel hotspots

Localized heating helps identify modules that warrant visual inspection and electrical testing.

Solar PV02

String-level patterns

Compare neighboring rows and strings to flag unusual behavior for the operations team.

Roofing03

Suspected roof moisture

Differences in roof cooling can reveal areas worth testing for retained moisture.

Building envelope04

Insulation & thermal bridges

Surface patterns help focus investigation on heat flow through roofs, walls and junctions.

Electrical05

Overheating electrical assets

Unusual heating at visible connections or equipment can guide a qualified electrical inspection.

Mechanical06

HVAC thermal performance

Temperature differences across comparable assets help direct service and insulation checks.

06 / What you receive

Data your crews can use.

A useful inspection ends with a location, supporting evidence and a next step. We agree the deliverable package around your site and your team.

01 / PlanThe right capture window

Choose timing for the asset: stable sun for PV, suitable cooling conditions for roofs, and representative load for equipment.

02 / CaptureThermal with context

Record visual references and relevant conditions alongside thermal imagery, with access and coverage agreed before the flight.

03 / ReviewEvidence before conclusions

Consider surface emissivity, reflections and weather. Mark observations that need confirmation by the relevant specialist.

04 / Follow upA repeatable baseline

Compare future surveys under similar conditions to track change and review work after a repair.
