Streamlining Solar Project Inspections
Solar project inspections can be a massive challenge due to the vast amount of equipment involved. While drones can assist in examining solar panels, human inspection remains essential for the mechanical and electrical components. ONYX Insight's fieldPRO app streamlines this process by facilitating the efficient inspection of panel strings, trackers, and inverters. This results in defect images and a punch list that aids in managing and scheduling maintenance tasks.
Managing End of Warranty Period
As wind farm warranties come to an end, it becomes crucial for owners to prioritize maintenance to prolong turbine life. Proper maintenance during this phase ensures the turbines continue to perform optimally beyond the warranty period. ONYX Insight's fieldPRO app offers a valuable tool for staying informed and maintaining the turbines effectively.
Addressing the Big Data Challenge
For large solar array owners, inspecting multiple arrays annually poses a significant big data challenge. Managing thousands of data points, which may include images showing various defects, can be overwhelming without a standardized tracking tool. fieldPRO enables assigning severity ratings, comments, and recommendations to each data point, ensuring efficient organization and prioritization of inspection data.
Benefits of Using fieldPRO
Transitioning from traditional pen-and-paper forms to digital checklists using fieldPRO saves significant time, reducing inspection durations by up to 3 hours per solar string. Operators can monitor field operations from their desks, receive punch lists of necessary fixes, and easily reference component images for maintenance, repairs, and claims filing. fieldPRO empowers field teams, enhancing collaboration and communication for more efficient operations and maintenance.
Empowering Field Teams with Technology
ONYX Insight's fieldPRO app revolutionizes solar project inspections by leveraging technology to streamline data collection, analysis, and reporting. By empowering field teams with digital tools, the app enhances efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration within engineering teams. Owners and operators can benefit from real-time insights and status updates, enabling proactive maintenance and ensuring the longevity of solar assets.
