Maximise Solar Energy Output with Advanced Thermal Imaging
Solar panels are a great way to minimise your carbon footprint and save money with clean, renewable energy. Over time, though, the panels and associated components can develop faults which compromise efficiency and can present serious safety issues if unaddressed. While many faults are invisible, fortunately, with thermal scanning we can make them visible.
At Thermal Scanners, our licensed electricians utilise the most advanced thermal technology and software to identify faults within solar panels. We will also provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings and offering clear, tailored solutions to restore peak performance.
Why Regular Thermal Scanning of Your Solar System Matters
When operating accurately, solar can significantly reduce energy costs and help you meet environmental targets, but when they fail it can be costly, disruptive and even hazardous. Thermal scanning can find hidden faults with both electricity generating panels or solar hot water systems in their early stages, before they escalate.
Thermal scanning can examine the units to identify and locate a range of issues in your solar system, including:
- Defective or malfunctioning cells
- Hot spots caused by damaged panels or connections
- Blockages in hot water systems
- Weather-related damage such as hail impact or dirt accumulation
Solar systems can become inefficient or fail for a number of reasons, including:
- Incorrect installation
- Defective manufacturing
- Damage from weather such as hail or dirt
- Blockages caused by rust or presence of heavy metals

When and Why to Conduct a Thermal Scan
Most faults with solar systems can’t easily be detected by the naked eye; instead, you need to be able to see “inside” the system. Thermal scanning does just that, by scanning the internal components of the system to see how they are functioning.
For the most accurate results, thermal scanning must be completed during sunny days and under normal load operations, such that the inverters and other equipment are operational. There are many reasons for completing thermal scanning upon your PV cells, including:
- Ensuring highest efficiency during manufacturing and installation warranty
- Conducting post-installation quality assurance
- Checking for damage after weather events such as hail or dust storms
Is Your Solar System Underperforming?

Why Choose Thermal Scanners for PV Solar Panel Thermal Surveys?
With industry-leading technology and decades of experience, Thermal Scanners are Australia’s trusted partner for proactive thermal imaging inspections. Our highly trained technicians use the latest thermal technology to complete accurate scans of your solar systems. With thermal drones, we can find faults in even the most hard-to-reach places. This technology also means that roof access is not always necessary.
We go beyond inspections—our experts guide you through the benefits of incorporating thermal imaging into your cold room insulation leak detection strategy. Plus, we provide a detailed thermal report that includes everything you need to take action with confidence. The report includes:
- Detailed scope of works
- Thermal and visual images of all Exceptions found including:
- Detailed location of area of interest
- Date and time
- Priority rating (for level of importance)
- Possible causes (i.e. Bird droppings or crack in panel)
- Qualification of thermographer
