85 MW solar plant thermal audit

Radiometric inspection of a utility-scale PV plant, with AI defect classification mapped to the plant's asset register.

The challenge

String monitoring flagged underperformance, but couldn’t say which modules were at fault or why.

What we did

We captured radiometric LWIR imagery under IEC TS 62446-3 conditions. AI models classified each anomaly and mapped it to the plant’s asset register.

Outcome

Repair crews were dispatched straight to the faulty modules, guided by a ranked list with GPS coordinates and thermal evidence for each one.
