1 Vision Solar is proud to announce a major expansion of its solar PV maintenance division, reinforcing its position as one of the UK’s leading providers of professional solar services. As part of this growth, the company has invested in the state-of-the-art DJI M30T thermography drone to carry out detailed aerial inspections on commercial and utility-scale solar PV systems.

This strategic move allows 1 Vision Solar to offer faster, safer, and more accurate fault detection using high-resolution thermal imaging — enabling engineers to identify issues such as hotspots, shading problems, or underperforming modules without needing rooftop access or physical contact with the array.

“Our investment in aerial thermographic inspection technology reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, quality, and performance,” said Gareth Howe, Director at 1 Vision Solar. “We’re not just installing solar PV — we’re helping clients protect their investment and maximise long-term system output.”

In addition to drone inspections, 1 Vision Solar has expanded its specialist maintenance team and invested in advanced solar panel cleaning equipment. The company now operates a vehicle-mounted cleaning system that delivers triple-filtered deionised water for a spotless, streak-free finish. For larger-scale arrays, the team deploys the SolarCleano F1 robotic cleaner, which ensures thorough, consistent results without walking on panels or risking damage.

From schools and hospitals to business parks and solar farms, 1 Vision Solar’s growing maintenance division is setting a new standard in aftercare and performance assurance for solar energy systems across the UK.
