pv magazine Webinar | Unlocking Hidden Solar Asset Risks: AI, Back-of-Module, and 3D Tracker Inspection

As solar fleets scale, conventional aerial visual and thermal inspections are no longer enough to catch the complex mechanical and physical degradation threatening long-term asset performance. From unseen back-of-module defects to subtle tracker misalignment, critical operational risks often lie just beyond traditional view.

In this webinar by Zeitview, we will explore how advances in AI and cutting-edge visual inspection technology are expanding visibility across solar operations. The session will highlight next-generation inspection capabilities, including back-of-module analysis and row-level 3D structural mapping, examining real-world examples of detected anomalies and the downstream asset management decisions they enable.

We will conclude with a practical framework for how site operations and asset management teams can evaluate new inspection methodologies based on the specific operational decisions they unlock, helping turn raw inspection data into actionable, high-ROI maintenance workflows.
