Photovoltaic Power Plant

Solution

Operating a photovoltaic (PV) power plant involves many complexities. Inspecting solar modules, inverters, connections, and electrical infrastructure over large ground or rooftop areas is time-consuming, logistically difficult and sometimes unsafe. Traditional inspection methods often miss hidden defects, thermal hotspots, or early module degradation. When issues go undetected, power loss increases, maintenance costs mount, and return-on-investment is compromised.

SkyeBase offers comprehensive PV Power Plant Inspection services that leverage aerial drone imaging, infrared (IR) thermography, string & inverter diagnostics, and detailed reliability testing. Our inspections are designed to detect visual defects, hotspots, module decomposition, electrical anomalies, wiring faults, and inverter inefficiencies. All findings are translated into an actionable report on a digital platform with performance benchmarking, trend-analysis, and recommendations for optimising output and reliability.

Scoping and Planning
Define inspection boundaries, plant layout, safe drone flight paths, inverter & string access, and client expectations.
Data Collection
Use drone-based visual and IR imaging, module/string/inverter tests (I-V curves, insulation, continuity), and optionally environmental parameters (irradiance, soiling).
Analysis & Testing
Thermal image processing, electrical diagnostics, comparison against baseline or expected performance, detection of anomalies.
Reporting & Recommendations
Full digital report outlining defects, critical risks, performance losses, corrective actions, and cost/benefit of repair vs replacement.
Trend Monitoring
Enable repeated inspections over time to track degradation, validate repairs, model life-cycle, and support predictive maintenance.

Early detection of faults and performance losses → higher yield & less downtime.
Reduced maintenance and repair costs through targeted interventions.
Improved safety by avoiding manual, high-risk inspections (rooftops, high modules).
Objective, data-driven reporting with benchmarks and trend analyses.
Better asset valuation and decision support for investors or for plant acquisition/sale.

Enhanced Reliability: PV plant operates closer to its designed capacity over its lifetime.
Optimised O&M Costs: More efficient use of resources, less emergency maintenance.
Extended Asset Lifespan: Components maintained or replaced in time, reducing risk of catastrophic failures.
Safety & Compliance: Reduced risk to personnel; better documentation for warranties, regulations, insurer requirements.
Predictable Performance: Clients can forecast energy output, maintenance schedules, financial returns more accurately.
