Overview
What Will I Learn On This Course?
Course Content

A breakdown of topics from our one-day live course.

This focused session covers thermography basics, including theory and practical techniques, specifically applied to electrical installations and solar PV inspections.

Core Modules:

  • Introduction to Thermography: Camera operation, thermal image principles for electrical and PV use cases
  • Heat & Temperature Basics: Non-contact measurement, emissivity, reflected temperature and heat transfer theory
  • Electrical & Solar Inspections: Identifying faults in switchgear, connections, PV panels and inverters
  • Camera Handling & Setup: Correct focus, image tuning, measurement parameters setup
  • Error Identification: Common pitfalls in thermal images and how to avoid them
  • Introduction to Reporting: Creating basic, accurate reports for electrical and solar inspections
Entry Requirements

Who this training suits.

No prior thermography experience is needed; ideal for tradespeople such as electricians, solar technicians, building inspectors or maintenance staff interested in thermal inspection. Access to a thermal camera is useful but not essential.

Learning Outcomes
