2. Understanding Inspection Deliverables

Module Advanced Inspection

An aerial thermographic inspection that includes all Module Basic Inspection anomalies, including the detection of subtle performance or site concerns such as cell cracking, potential induced degradation (PID), vegetation, surface fouling, and installation defects.

Module Basic Inspection

An aerial thermographic inspection that includes all String Level Inspection anomalies, plus identifies all module-level safety, warrantable and high power loss anomalies.

String Level Inspection

An aerial thermographic inspection that identifies all electrical balance of system (BoS) issues, outages and safety concerns.

Glass Crack Detection Inspection

A high-resolution aerial inspection that detects fine cracks in PV modules with 2.5mm or thinner glass coverings.

Pole Inventory Inspection

Analysis of UAV RGB images for identifying equipment on utility poles.

Scope of equipment identified may vary according to the number of images captured per pole.

Aerial RGB/Visual Inspection

Analysis of UAV RGB images for identifying anomalies on utility poles. Scope of anomalies identified may vary according to the number of images captured per pole.

Ground RGB/Visual Inspection

Analysis of ground based RGB images for identifying anomalies on utility poles. Scope of anomalies identified may vary according to the number of images captured per pole.

Thermal Inspection

Analysis of UAV thermal data to identify and report discernible thermographic conditions including, without limitation unbalanced load, excessive resistance, overheating clamps, splices, transformers, etc.

Roof Condition

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify visible roof surface anomalies, including water ponding, membrane defects, and debris accumulation.

Thermal Roof Condition

Analysis of drone-captured thermal imagery to identify thermal anomalies indicative of potential sub-membrane moisture within the roof assembly.

Roof Equipment Condition

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify visible condition issues and anomalies affecting roof-mounted equipment and penetrations, including RTUs, skylights, hatches, and associated guards.

Roof Equipment Inventory

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify, classify, and quantify roof-mounted equipment and features, including counts of RTUs, skylights, vents, and other visible roof penetrations.

Facade Condition

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify visible condition issues and anomalies affecting building façades, including exterior wall surfaces, cladding, and architectural elements.

Thermal Facade Condition

Analysis of drone-captured thermal imagery to identify thermal anomalies on building façades that may indicate heat loss, insulation deficiencies, or moisture intrusion within the exterior wall assembly.

Facade Inventory

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify, classify, and quantify façade features, including counts of downspout kick outs and measured square footage of the building façade surface.

Pavement Condition

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify visible condition issues and surface anomalies affecting pavement areas, including cracking, deformation, surface wear, and debris.

Pavement Inventory

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify, classify, and quantify pavement features, including counts of parking spaces and storm drains, measured areas of asphalt and concrete pavement, and linear footage of curbing.

Landscape Condition

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify visible condition issues and anomalies affecting landscaped areas, including vegetation health, erosion, bare areas, and debris.

Landscape Inventory

Analysis of drone-captured RGB imagery to identify, classify, and quantify landscape features, including counts of trees and shrubs and measured areas of ground cover materials such as grass, mulch, and rock.
