Local conditions we work around

• SR 56 and I-75 traffic film

  The commercial density around Wiregrass and the I-75 interchange keeps a steady grey traffic film settling on nearby subdivision roofs.

• Retention-pond humidity

  Meadow Pointe and Seven Oaks are laced with retention ponds, and the humidity they hold overnight keeps pollen and dust bound to panels rather than blowing clear.

• Spring pollen

  Oak and pine cover throughout the older Meadow Pointe sections drops a heavy pollen load each spring, same as much of central Pasco.

Predominantly 2000s and 2010s architectural shingle on subdivision homes, with builder-grade concrete tile in the newer Seven Oaks and Wiregrass Ranch sections. Roofs are uniform and moderately pitched, generally easy ground-based work.

Drone and handheld radiometric scanning

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.

What infrared finds

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.
