During a recent drone solar inspection, we were able to uncover various issues regarding half-cut cells. If you are unfamiliar with half-cut solar cells, these innovative configurations maximize energy output by reducing cell size, allowing more cells to fit on each module. The unique half-cut design means the top and bottom operate independently, generating power even if one half is shaded, or in this case, with hotspots. Using advanced series wiring and a bypass diode system, they outperform traditional module designs, minimizing power loss from shading.

Thank you for your videos they are very informative. At this time I am starting to fly the DJI M3T and getting into this business. I have already downloaded your Hiring book ... and I am trying to download the GUIDEBOOK as well although I am giving my company address , unfortunately it has not arrived 😢

When I'm half-cut I usually keep drinking.

On the shots shown here there's quite a lot of hotspots visible - to me (who doesn't know much about solar) that seems like a very high defect rate. Is this normal / an acceptable rate?

Hey man do you need to get certified for thermal imagine jobs

[@Tymon0000]

that is a lot of solar panels

Can i please get Johns email,there a few things i would like to get his advise on
