Clear answers before the drone leaves the ground.

It is an aerial inspection method that uses an infrared thermal camera carried by a drone to record surface-temperature patterns. Thermal imagery is normally reviewed together with high-resolution visible imagery, site information and operating context.

Usually, operating conditions are needed because meaningful electrical loading helps create temperature differences that can be assessed. The required operating condition and any site restrictions are confirmed during planning.

Possible observations include module hotspots, cell or substring patterns, bypass-diode-related signatures, junction-box heating, connection concerns, shading or soiling effects and visible module condition issues. The achievable findings depend on system design, environmental conditions and image quality.

No. A thermal anomaly is an observation. Weather, reflection, angle, loading, emissivity, shading, soiling and system configuration may affect the image. Electrical testing or close physical inspection may be needed to confirm the cause.

Duration depends on asset size, layout, access, weather, flight restrictions, required image detail and reporting scope. ThermoSky will estimate the field and reporting time after reviewing the project information.

Thermographic data is normally collected under stable and suitable environmental conditions. Solar inspections require meaningful irradiance and should avoid unsuitable wind, rapid cloud changes or recent conditions that distort temperature patterns. Final timing is confirmed for each site.

Depending on the agreed scope, the report may include an executive summary, inspection conditions and limitations, thermal and visible images, asset or location references, temperature observations, priority categories and recommended follow-up actions.

Yes. The inspection method is adapted to roof access, array geometry, plant size, nearby obstacles, asset records and the required level of module identification.

ThermoSky can define thermal and visual inspection scopes for line assets, subject to voltage level, access, terrain, operating condition, safe clearances, airspace requirements and equipment capability.

Not necessarily. Thermal inspections often require the equipment to be operating under relevant load. However, site safety rules, the inspection objective and any need for close verification determine whether coordination or a shutdown is required.

These capabilities should not be assumed. ThermoSky will state the available sensors and methods in the quotation. Specialised inspections are included only when the required equipment and competence are specifically confirmed.

ThermoSky is based in Colombo and can consider projects across Sri Lanka. Mobilisation, access and travel requirements are reviewed as part of the quotation.

Provide the asset type, site location, installed PV capacity or line length, approximate asset quantity, layout or route information, known concerns, preferred timing and required deliverables. Drawings and photographs are helpful.
