Local conditions we work around

• Chain of Lakes mineral mist

  With more than a dozen interconnected lakes inside city limits, homes near the water pick up a fine mineral mist most mornings that hardens quickly once the sun is out.

• Citrus grove pollen

  Remaining groves east and south of the city drop a heavy pollen load each spring, thicker here than in cities farther from active agriculture.

• Legoland and US-27 tourist traffic dust

  The Cypress Gardens Boulevard and US-27 corridors carry heavy seasonal tourist traffic, adding road film that spikes noticeably during spring break and summer.

A blend of older shingle homes around the historic downtown and Lake Region district, and newer architectural shingle subdivisions toward Cypress Gardens Boulevard. Pitches generally sit in the 4/12 to 6/12 range with easy ground access.

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.
