Protect Your Investment & Reduce the Risk of Fire with Thermal Drone Inspections.
Fast, safe and actionable drone surveys for rooftop & ground based solar PV arrays — ideal for public buildings, facilities teams and energy managers.
Why Solar PV Inspections Matter
Public buildings such as schools, hospitals and government facilities rely on solar energy to control costs and meet sustainability targets.
However, hidden issues can silently reduce performance and increase fire risk — often without visible signs.

Drone Pro Thermal Surveys reveal hidden issues the eye can’t see.
Drone Pro Thermal Survey Includes
- High-resolution Thermal & RGB Imaging of every panel
- Detection of:
- Hotspots & bypass diode failures
- Shading, soiling & physical defects (cracking)
- Connection issues & string imbalance
- Panel-level diagnostics with zero disruption
- Actionable reports for maintenance and energy teams
- Less than 1 hour onsite to conduct the survey flight.
Systems That Should Be Inspected Yearly
Regular inspections of building systems help prevent hidden faults, maintain performance and significantly reduce fire risk in solar PV installations.
Systems Routinely Inspected
Boilers & Gas Appliances
Electrical Installations & PAT Testing
Security Systems
Rooftop Solar
PV Systems
“Insurer QBE canvassed data from across the UK’s fire services to see how many blazes were caused by solar installations. Our analysis shows fires involving solar panels have risen at twice the rate of new installations over the past two years. Safe solar panel installation and maintenance are essential to reducing fires.“
Tailored for Public Buildings
- Safeguard critical infrastructure and reduce the risk of fire
- Extend panel lifespan with early fault detection
- Optimise performance and revenue
- Comply with insurance requirements
