Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are provided for automatically inspecting photovoltaic (PV) installations. The system utilizes drones flying preprogrammed routes to conduct aerial thermography of PV modules for inspection (i.e., gathering IR images of the PV modules). The system conducts analytics on the gathered images to determine defects in the PV modules of the PV installation, classifies detected defects, issues reports automatically, and retains technical data of every module included in the database of a PV installation for trend analysis and preventative and predictive maintenance analysis.
