Continuous IR for Solar - Catching Failures before the Roof Does

A distribution operator's rooftop solar was quietly underproducing - and neither SCADA nor the annual drone inspection could say why. The failures that matter most, like a DC connector working loose and running hot, develop in the weeks between snapshots, where nobody's looking.

This case study shows how continuous infrared monitoring closed that blind spot: catching the slow, dangerous failures while they're still a work order, not an incident — and changing how a lean team maintains the array.
