Thermal Drone Inspections for Solar Panels by Greenbank Solar

Protecting Your Solar Investment from Hail Damage in Queensland

At Greenbank Solar, we’re leading the way in Queensland with advanced thermal drone inspections to safeguard your solar panels. Our cutting-edge aerial technology quickly identifies hotspots—especially those caused by destructive hail events—ensuring your system stays efficient and reliable. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or solar farm operator, we help you catch issues early, saving you from costly repairs and lost energy production.

Why Hail Events Threaten Your Solar Panels

Queensland’s weather can be unpredictable, with hailstorms posing a serious risk to solar panels. Even small hailstones can cause micro-cracks, cell damage, or debris buildup, leading to hotspots—areas of excessive heat that signal trouble. These hotspots reduce energy output, damage panels over time, and can even pose fire risks if left unchecked. Traditional inspections often miss these hidden issues, but Greenbank Solar’s thermal drone technology changes that.

Using infrared imaging, we detect temperature anomalies caused by hail impacts, pinpointing damaged cells or faulty connections that manual checks can’t see. This is critical after a hail event, when unseen defects can quietly degrade your system’s performance.

How Greenbank Solar Tackles Hail-Related Hotspots

Based in Queensland, Greenbank Solar uses thermal drone inspections to deliver fast, accurate results tailored to our region’s unique climate challenges. Here’s our process:

Rapid Aerial Surveys: Our drones cover your entire solar array in hours, not days, identifying hotspots from hail damage without disrupting your system.
Thermal Detection: Infrared imaging reveals heat signatures from cracked cells, impacted panels, or debris—common after hailstorms—highlighting issues invisible to the naked eye.
Post-Hail Analysis: After a storm, we assess the extent of hail damage, from minor micro-cracks to severe cell failures, providing a clear picture of your panels’ health.
Detailed Reporting: Our expert team delivers a comprehensive report with GPS-tagged hotspots, so you know exactly where hail has struck and what needs fixing.
Queensland Expertise: We understand local weather patterns, like the hail events that hit Brisbane or the Darling Downs, and tailor our inspections to keep your panels thriving.

Hail Damage and Hotspots: What We Find

Hail events can wreak havoc on solar panels in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Our thermal drone inspections uncover:

Micro-Cracks: Tiny fractures from hail impacts that heat up under load, forming hotspots and reducing efficiency.
Cell Damage: Broken or malfunctioning cells that overheat, often a direct result of hailstone strikes.
Debris Buildup: Leaves or dirt trapped after a storm, causing shading and heat pockets.
Connection Issues: Hail can loosen wiring or diodes, leading to hot zones that threaten your system’s safety.

By catching these issues early, we prevent small hail-related problems from escalating into major failures, keeping your solar investment secure.
