Thermal rooftop PV alarms that become a technical workflow

Helios Solar Thermal Watch connects supported thermographic CCTV with Helios so abnormal heat events on suitable commercial rooftop PV arrays can be reviewed, escalated and followed through as authorised technical incidents.

THERMOGRAPHIC CCTV

Watch defined rooftop PV areas

Suitable elevated thermographic cameras can observe defined commercial PV roof areas for abnormal surface-temperature patterns, subject to camera range, roof geometry, environmental conditions and site design.

HELIOS ALERTS

Turn supported thermal events into action

Supported camera events can be routed into Helios for authorised-user notification, incident tracking, evidence capture and assignment of technical follow-up.

ENGINEERING CONTEXT

Interpret heat in context

Thermal information is most useful when it is reviewed alongside PV string layout, system history, electrical protection, maintenance records and site operating conditions.

MULTI-SITE

Factories, warehouses, malls and farms

The workflow is designed for suitable commercial and industrial rooftops and portfolios where operators need a consistent method to escalate abnormal thermal observations.

EARLY WARNING • NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROTECTION

Thermal monitoring adds visibility; it does not replace compliant engineering

A thermal alert is an early-warning signal, not a final diagnosis. Helios Solar Thermal Watch does not replace correct cable sizing, connectors, fusing, isolation, earthing, overcurrent protection, commissioning, maintenance, fire protection or professional technical inspection.

Alarm thresholds, camera coverage and escalation rules must be designed for the actual site. Weather, reflections, shading, equipment geometry and camera limitations can affect thermal observations.

How the workflow fits together

Thermographic camera → supported thermal event → Helios alert → authorised review → evidence / job workflow → technical inspection → close-out record.
