Thermal imaging remains a highly specialized application within the professional drone services industry.
It is a method of producing significantly enhanced details
of objects in low visibility environments by detecting the object’s infrared
radiation and thermal energy to create images based on the information
gathered.
Drone thermal imaging cameras can be used in a variety of
applications and as the technology has developed over the years, we see its use
across a variety of sectors, such as Agriculture, Oil and Gas, Search and
Rescue, Firefighting, Roof and Building Inspections, Solar Panel Installation
Maintenance and many more.
Solar Panels Inspections
Solar panel installations are becoming increasingly popular because of the decrease in installation costs and a price rise in non-renewable energy sources such as coal, oil and gas. However solar panels require regular maintenance. Using thermal imaging for solar panel inspections a drone can identify manufacturing defects, cracks, faulty inter-connectors and temporary shadowing.
Roof and Building Inspections
Drone thermal imaging is very effective when inspecting
roofs and building exteriors. The drone can view the entire roof or building
and quickly identify leaks, detect energy inefficiencies, which helps to
maintain temperature regulations in a building. The thermal drone can also
analyse the building structure to spot missing or damaged installations, water
under roof membranes, external electrical issues, failed windows, and many
other faults.
