Aerial Thermal Imaging for Solar & Industrial Maintenance

Radiometric Data for Predictive Maintenance and Energy Efficiency

Identify invisible thermal anomalies before they lead to system failure. Highres Drone Services provides high-precision radiometric thermal inspections across Kennewick, WA and the Pacific Northwest. Our advanced thermal imaging detects heat signatures that indicate moisture intrusion, electrical faults, and energy loss, allowing for safe and efficient data collection in hard-to-reach industrial environments.  

  • Solar Farm Inspections: Rapidly identify faulty cells, bypass diode failures, and "hot spots" that compromise energy output.

  • Industrial Equipment Monitoring: Detect abnormal heat signatures in substations, transformers, and electrical components to prevent unscheduled downtime.

  • Energy Audits: Document insulation gaps and thermal bridging in large-scale commercial facilities to optimize HVAC efficiency.

  • Structural Safety: Evaluate mechanical systems and infrastructure for internal thermal anomalies that indicate potential structural risk.  

We specialize in creating high-detail thermal orthomosaics that provide a comprehensive "heat map" of your critical assets. By utilizing autonomous flight paths, we ensure repeatable and high-accuracy data collection that can be compared over time to track equipment degradation or structural shifts. This data-driven approach significantly lowers the cost of routine preventative maintenance while reducing risk for your personnel.
