Operations & Management
The buildup of dust, leaves and bird droppings on top of your solar panels will reduce the electricity produced by the solar PV system.
It has been proven that having your solar panels professionally cleaned can increase your system efficiency between 10% - 35%.
Although rain water washes away some of the dirt, it does not clean your panels 100%.
Professional cleaning and inspection of your solar system is advised at least 2 to 4 times per year, depending on environmental factors as well as the size of the system.
Solar array inspections are required to identify any loose connections, corrosion, cracked panels, which can all contribute to an increased risk of short circuits and fire.
Some considerations when having your solar panels professionally inspected and cleaned
For larger installations, manual inspections are very labour intensive. This is where thermal drone inspections will save you time and money.
Some of the benefits of Drone inspections include:
✔️ Quick & Efficient
✔️ Thermal imagery detects unseen defects
✔️ No system downtime required to test strings & arrays
✔️ Replacement of damaged modules reducing risk of fires.
✔️ Specific geotagging for maintenance teams to attend to faults.
A Solar PV System is a significant investment, drone inspection ensures your investment will yield the best returns.
Active monitoring enables our technicians to identify issues and rectify them promptly to ensure that your system operates optimally at all times.
We also provide you with a monthly report which includes system performance and financial analysis.
