Owner of a photovoltaic power plant
Detection of any faults and anomalies on photovoltaic panels - specific and fast localization
Inspection of hard-to-reach panels
Why?
Identification of the risk of fire or electric shock
Estimation of output losses (typically 3-8%) for the purpose of output optimization
Financial savings after elimination of the discovered defects
Efficient planning of servicing activities and thus reduced maintenance costs
Preventing future problems
Inspecting panels on roofs is very difficult and dangerous without the use of a drone
Companies servicing PV power plants
Detection of all faults and anomalies on photovoltaic panels and their classification according to their type, severity, hazard and impact on the overall output of the power plant
Why?
Saving the time and cost of traditional inspections carried out by ground rounds on foot
Facilitating the preparation for, planning and logistics of the required service and maintenance activities
Reducing the risk of injuries - e.g., due to falls during PV power plant inspections on rooftops
Owner of newly installed PV power plant
Identification of any faults and anomalies in the photovoltaic panels, including an estimate of their impact on the overall power plant output
Why?
Ensuring that the newly installed PV power plant is functioning properly or detecting faulty panels
Supporting documentation for a potential complaint - for negotiation of remedy by the implementation company
Savings - negligible cost of the inspection in relation to the acquisition cost of building the PV power plant and possible financial losses in case of sub-optimal output
Company that builds PV power plants
Identification of any faults and anomalies in the photovoltaic panels, including an estimate of their impact on the overall power plant output
Why?
Checking the output of a new photovoltaic power plant - reducing the risk of repeated visits (carrying out repairs shortly after installation) and thus costs
Insurance companies
Detection of any faults and anomalies on photovoltaic panels + reduction of the risk of fire and electric shock
Why?
Inspection of insured photovoltaic power plants - minimizing the risk of an insured event (claim) and thus saving money on indemnification payments.
Possible leverage on insured parties - incentive for carrying out regular inspections (positive - reduced premiums, negative - increased deductibles)
Owner of a small power plant on a family home
Detecting faults in photovoltaic panels that even modern monitoring systems may not be able to detect
Why?
Inspections of panels for preventive reasons - reducing the risk of fire
Aerial inspections without the risk of falling from the roof or electric shock
Government
Ensuring panel inspections in large newly installed photovoltaic power plants for which the state provided subsidies
