Aerial thermography
RGB + IR · RTK

See the heat.
Find the fault.

ThermoIris flies solar farms with a dual-sensor drone, aligns every infrared frame to a centimetre-accurate RGB map, and tells you which module is failing — by row, by string, by coordinate.

A failing module looks exactly like a healthy one.

Cracked cells, bypass-diode failures and soiling all show up as heat long before they show up in yield reports. To the eye, and to a standard camera, the panel looks fine.

Walking a site with a handheld imager is slow, and loose thermal snapshots are hard to trace back to a physical module. Faults get found late, or not at all.

Four steps, from flight to fault list.

  1. A

    Fly

    A planned nadir grid with a dual RGB + thermal drone. RTK positioning tags every frame to about 2 cm.

  2. B

    Stitch

    Frames are lens-corrected and stitched into a single RGB orthomosaic, GPS-seeded and refined by feature matching.

  3. C

    Overlay

    Infrared frames are undistorted and placed with the same per-frame transforms, so heat lands on the right module.

  4. D

    Report

    Anomalies are measured, classified and listed by row and string, each linked to its location and source frames.

What you receive after every flight.

RGB orthomosaic
A seamless, georeferenced map of the whole site at high resolution.
Thermal overlay
Infrared data aligned to the mosaic, viewable as a layer you can toggle and compare.
Anomaly register
Every hotspot with temperature delta, severity, row, string and coordinates. Export to CSV.
Flight record
Flight path, waypoints and the original RGB / IR frame pair behind each finding.

One viewer for the whole inspection.

Results live in the ThermoIris web platform. Your O&M team opens the site, follows the flight path, zooms into the mosaic and jumps straight to the frames behind each fault.
