Commercial solar

Visual and thermal coverage of commercial arrays, organised so installers, O&M and asset managers can decide where to look next.

The problem

Why people ask for this.

A large rooftop or ground-mount array is slow to walk and easy to under-inspect. Underperforming modules and damaged glass are not always obvious from the access walkway.

NOVENTRA documents what the cameras capture. It does not issue electrical certification or MCS paperwork.

What we capture

  • High-resolution visual coverage of the array
  • Thermal capture of modules and strings
  • Context of the host roof or site

What you receive

  • Array imagery
  • Noted visual and thermal anomalies
  • A findings pack suitable for further investigation

Useful for

  • Commercial installers
  • O&M providers
  • Solar asset managers

Commercial arrays

Coverage first. Then the modules that look off.

Visual stills show glass, soiling, obvious damage and the condition of the host roof. Thermal stills may show modules or strings that are running warmer than their neighbours. Those are flags for the installer or O&M team, not a substitute for electrical test.
