PV Warranty Case: Drone Thermography Reports
When your PV system underperforms, only one thing matters: solid technical proof. We document hotspots, defective modules and PID damage as professional drone reports — accepted by manufacturers, insurers and courts.
At a glance
In short: a PV warranty claim requires technical proof that your modules are defective or underperforming. Skyservice scans your system with a calibrated thermal drone (DJI Matrice 4 Thermal), assesses every single module, and delivers a written report within 5 business days. The report is accepted as evidence by manufacturers, insurers and courts.
How a Drone Report Secures Your Warranty Claim
Solar module manufacturers typically offer 10 to 25 years of performance warranty. But in a warranty case, the burden of proof is on the system operator — you must demonstrate that the modules are genuinely defective and not damaged by external causes. Without technical evidence, manufacturers reject almost every claim.
With a professional drone thermography report we document the condition of every single module in your system. Hotspots, micro-cracks, defective bypass diodes, PID (potential-induced degradation) and cell defects become clearly visible on high-resolution thermal images. Our reports follow IEC 62446-3 and are accepted by manufacturers such as JA Solar, Jinko, Trina, LG and Meyer Burger, as well as by insurers and court-appointed experts.
Why Drone Thermography Matters in a Warranty Case
Court-Admissible Evidence
High-resolution thermal images with GPS coordinates, timestamps and temperature data — documented according to IEC 62446-3 and accepted as legal evidence.
100% Module Coverage
We capture every single module in your system — even on large installations with thousands of modules. No defect goes undetected.
Fast Turnaround
Flight within days, written report within 5 business days. Critical when warranty deadlines are looming.
Independent & Neutral
We are neither a module manufacturer nor an installer. Our reports are technically robust and party-independent — essential for insurance and court proceedings.
