Homeowners rely on solar PV systems to generate sustainable energy and reduce electricity bills, but faulty panels or wiring issues can quickly decrease performance. Over time, micro-cracks, inverter malfunctions, and overheating can lead to energy loss and potential fire hazards. Without routine inspections, you may be losing efficiency without realising it.

Our thermal drone imaging inspections provide an affordable and effective solution to identify hidden faults before they become expensive problems. Using high-resolution infrared sensors, we detect temperature anomalies, electrical failures, and shading effects, helping homeowners optimise their energy savings and extend the lifespan of their system.

  • Hotspots & Overheating – Increase potential of fire risk & safety concerns.

  • Bypass Diode Failures – Cause voltage drops & system inefficiency.

  • Shading & Dirt Buildup – Reduce power output & energy savings.

  • Module and String Failure – Lead to energy wastage & long-term damage.

IEC62446-3:2017 Compliance & Home Insurance Requirements

What is IEC62446-3:2017?

The IEC62446-3:2017 standard sets guidelines for thermal imaging inspections of solar PV systems, ensuring that fault detection is accurate, reliable, and compliant with industry best practices. Following this standard ensures that our reports meet insurer, warranty, and maintenance provider requirements, giving you peace of mind that your system is working correctly.

Why Do Homeowners Need a Compliant Solar Panel Inspection?

Many home insurance providers require proof of system integrity and safety before covering fire damage or electrical failures related to solar panels. A thermal imaging report that follows IEC62446-3:2017 guidelines provides verifiable evidence that your solar installation is functioning correctly and highlights any issues before they become a liability.

  • Protect your home insurance eligibility by proving your system is fault-free.

  • Meet compliance requirements for warranties & maintenance providers.

  • Reduce fire risks by identifying faulty wiring or overheating compo
