Thermal Drone Anomaly Tracking: From Flight to Fix

A single radiometric thermal flight over a utility-scale array can flag hot spots, bypass diode failures, and string-level mismatches that are invisible from the ground. The flight itself is the easy part — the discipline is in what happens to that data afterward.

Every anomaly detected in flight is pinned to its exact module location, cross-referenced against the as-built layout, and scored by thermal delta and estimated production impact. That scoring is what separates a report that gets acted on from a report that gets filed away.

The output isn't a stack of thermal images — it's a prioritized punch list handed straight to the field crew, with the highest-impact repairs scheduled first and every finding tracked through to resolution and re-inspection.
