AI Solar Inspection Module

Complete Solar Diagnostics Platform

Our AI solar inspection module is designed to combine thermal imaging, visual analysis, and digital modelling to give solar contractors and property owners a complete picture of panel health — identifying faults that cost energy and money.

☀️ The Solar Inspection Module is currently in development. Features shown below represent our product roadmap. Join the waitlist for early access.

🔥 Module 1

Thermal & Electrical Diagnostics

Our thermal imaging AI detects invisible electrical faults before they cause panel failure or fire risk — from hotspots to degraded diodes and anomalous temperature patterns.

Hotspot Detection
🔥

Hotspot Detection

Identify dangerous thermal hotspots caused by cell damage, partial shading, or bypass diode failure — before they escalate.

  • Automated hotspot flagging
  • Temperature differential mapping
  • Risk severity classification
Diode Failure

Diode Failure Identification

Detect bypass and blocking diode failures that silently reduce panel output and can eventually cause permanent cell damage.

  • Diode fault pattern recognition
  • Panel-level fault mapping
  • Repair priority scoring
Thermal Anomaly
🌡️

Thermal Anomaly Detection

AI scans the full thermal image dataset to surface unusual temperature patterns — catching problems invisible to standard visual inspection.

  • Full-array thermal scanning
  • Anomaly heatmap generation
  • String-level analysis
Performance Degradation
📉

Performance Degradation Monitoring

Track panel efficiency over time and receive alerts when output degrades beyond acceptable thresholds — protecting your ROI.

  • Year-over-year output comparison
  • Degradation rate tracking
  • Warranty claim evidence
🔍 Module 2

Structural & Physical Damage Detection

High-resolution visual AI inspects every panel surface for physical damage — from hairline cracks to glass failure, corrosion, and mounting degradation.

Crack Detection
🔬

Crack Detection

AI identifies micro-cracks and surface fractures that reduce panel output and worsen over time.

  • Micro-crack identification
  • Snail trail detection
  • Severity mapping
Shattered Panels
💥

Shattered Panel Identification

Instantly identify fully or partially shattered panels requiring urgent replacement before further damage occurs.

  • Full-shatter detection
  • Partial breakage flagging
  • Impact damage patterns
Glass Sealant
🔧

Glass Joint Sealant Failure

Detect degraded or failed frame sealants that allow moisture ingress — a leading cause of panel failure.

  • Sealant integrity assessment
  • Frame gap detection
  • Moisture entry risk scoring
Corrosion Detection
🦀

Corrosion / Rust Detection

Identify corrosion on frames, mounting hardware, and connections before it causes structural or electrical failure.

  • Frame corrosion mapping
  • Mounting hardware analysis
  • Long-term risk assessment
Moving Elements
⚙️

Moving Element Detection

Flag loose panels, disconnected clips, and shifting mounting elements that create safety and performance risks.

  • Loose panel detection
  • Mounting hardware integrity
  • Safety risk alerts
🌿 Module 3

Environmental Impact Analysis

Environmental factors silently erode solar performance. Our AI quantifies the impact of dirt, shade, coating degradation, and moisture — and tells you exactly what to fix to reclaim lost energy.

Dirt Detection
🌫️

Dirt & Debris Identification

Quantify soiling levels across your array and calculate the exact energy output being lost to dirt accumulation.

  • Soiling density mapping
  • Cleaning ROI calculator
  • Panel-by-panel dirt scoring
Shadow Analysis
🌑

Shadow Analysis

Map shading patterns across your array — from trees, chimneys, and neighbouring structures — and calculate their production impact.

  • 3D shadow modelling
  • Annual shading loss estimate
  • Optimiser placement advice
Coating Degradation
🧪

Coating Degradation Detection

Identify anti-reflective and protective coating failures that reduce light transmission and accelerate panel ageing.

  • Coating wear mapping
  • UV damage indicators
  • Delamination detection
Water Ingress
💧

Water Ingress Detection

Thermal and visual AI detects moisture infiltration into panels — a primary cause of PID, cell degradation, and electrical failure.

  • Moisture intrusion mapping
  • PID risk identification
  • Waterproofing recommendations
🔷 Module 4

Solar Digital Modelling

Go beyond inspection with a complete digital twin of your solar installation — enabling precise efficiency mapping, layout optimisation, and long-term performance tracking.

Panel Layout Modelling
🔷

Panel Layout Modelling

Create a precise digital replica of your entire solar array — with every panel mapped to its exact position, orientation, and specification. Use it for diagnostics, reporting, insurance, and design optimisation.

  • Drone-based 3D array reconstruction
  • Panel-level GPS coordinates
  • Mounting structure mapping
  • Exportable layout files (CAD/BIM ready)
Efficiency Mapping
🗺️

Efficiency Mapping

A visual heat-map of performance across your entire array — showing which panels are underperforming and by exactly how much, with estimated energy loss calculations.

  • Per-panel efficiency scores
  • String-level performance analysis
  • Revenue loss quantification
  • Replacement priority queue
Long-Term Health Tracking
📅

Long-Term System Health Tracking

Monitor your solar installation's health trajectory over months and years — with AI-powered forecasts for when maintenance, replacement, or optimisation will be needed.

  • Historical performance timeline
  • Degradation trajectory modelling
  • Predictive replacement scheduling
  • Insurance & warranty documentation
