When a Brandon array under-produces and cleaning does not fix it, thermography tells you why in twenty minutes. Drone scan across every plane, handheld infrared confirmation on each anomaly, written report at the end.
SR 60 and I-75 road film
Brandon sits between two of the busiest corridors in the county. Tyre and brake particulate settles as a grey film that cuts output several percent before it is visible from the driveway.
Spring pollen load
Oak and pine pollen blankets Brandon subdivisions for six weeks each spring. It cakes hardest along the lower edge of each module where morning dew pools.
Construction dust
Ongoing development along Bloomingdale and Lithia Pinecrest keeps fine sand and limerock dust in the air on dry-season days.
Predominantly architectural shingle at 5/12 to 6/12 pitch on single and two-story subdivision homes, with pockets of flat concrete tile in the newer Providence Lakes and Bloomingdale sections. Access is generally easy and pole-friendly, which keeps Brandon pricing at the lower end of our per-panel range.
We fly a radiometric thermal camera over the full array under load, then follow up with handheld imaging on anything ambiguous or shaded. Radiometric means every pixel carries an actual temperature value, not just a false-colour gradient, so we can measure the delta between a suspect cell and its healthy neighbours instead of guessing from a pretty picture.
Single-cell hot spots from micro-cracks or manufacturing defects. Whole-substring heating that points to a failed bypass diode. Warm junction boxes and connectors that signal a resistive joint on its way to an arc fault. Reverse-biased shaded cells that soiling or a new tree branch has pushed into dissipating power instead of producing it.
Brandon is inside Hillsborough County, so there is no travel fee on any visit.
