Inspections & Imaging

High-Resolution Diagnostics for Commercial & Utility-Scale Solar Assets

Reliable performance requires more than clean modules — it requires the ability to detect issues early and document system health accurately.
PVWORX provides comprehensive visual and technical inspection solutions designed specifically for commercial, industrial, and large-scale solar environments.

Our inspections help asset owners, O&M teams, EPCs, and utilities identify problems before they escalate, improve production accuracy, and maintain compliance with safety, warranty, and operational requirements.

Visual Inspections

Our visual inspection process captures the essential issues that can affect performance or signal deeper system problems.
This work is completed during cleaning, scheduled inspections, or standalone site visits.

We visually inspect for:

  • Broken, cracked, or shattered modules
    • Loose, damaged, or missing hardware
    • Hotspots or browning visible on module surfaces
    • Wiring or conduit concerns
    • Soiling patterns & environmental impact
    • Shading issues from vegetation, structures, or debris
    • Bird activity and nesting
    • Structural irregularities on rooftops and arrays

 

Documentation & Reporting

PVWORX provides structured, easy-to-read documentation to support asset owners, O&M teams, EPC contractors, and investors.

Depending on the project, reporting includes:

  • Before/after imaging
    • Condition summaries
    • Thermal/EL image packets
    • Notes on environmental or operational risks
    • Module condition mapping
    • Recommendations for maintenance or corrective action
    • Documentation for audits, inspections, and insurance

Our reporting supports compliance, asset verification, warranty protection, and long-term portfolio monitoring.

Thermal (IR) Imaging

Identify Hotspots, Failures & Degradation in Minutes

Infrared imaging allows us to quickly pinpoint:

  • Hotspots Failing cells
  •  Diodes and junction box issues
  •  PID (Potential Induced Degradation) indicators
  •  Uneven production patterns
  • Early-stage module degradation
  • Loose connections and thermal imbalances

IR is ideal for verifying system health, isolating underperforming strings, and guiding O&M teams toward corrective action.

 

Electroluminescence (EL)

Microcracks & Defects Invisible to the Eye

Electroluminescence imaging provides a deeper, microscopic-level view inside the module.

We use EL imaging to detect:
• Microcracks
• PID
• Edge defects
• Cell soldering issues
• Latent damage caused by installation, weather, or mechanical stress
• Hidden manufacturing defects

EL imaging is an advanced diagnostic service typically required by asset managers, utilities, and high-value commercial sites where precision matters.
