PV Project Thermography

Gallery

Since the completion of the PVRES and Control houses, we have taken the opportunity to take our infrared cameras ("IR camera") to the houses to examine their performance.

An infrared camera has the ability to "see" heat (long-wave radiation). In the photographs below, lighter colors in the infrared photographs are the hottest areas, with darker colors being cooler. We used two infrared different intrared cameras for these photographs: one manufactured by Inframetrics (model 600L) and one from Agema (Thermovision). General information on infrared photography (thermography) can be found at Home Energy Magazine.
