Mississippi (MS)
When should you get a solar thermal inspection? in Mississippi
Thermal inspections use infrared cameras to identify hotspots, cell damage, and wiring faults that are invisible to the naked eye. Not every system needs one — but some definitely do. Here are the signs that indicate a thermal inspection is worth the investment.
How Mississippi's climate affects this issue
Hot, humid conditions increase hotspot risk through thermal stress, and moisture can accelerate cell degradation around existing hotspots.

Related issues
Cell hotspots
Localised overheating in individual cells caused by micro-cracks, shading, or manufacturing defects. Best detected via thermal imaging.
Typical loss: 5–20%
Wiring or connection issues
Loose connectors, corroded terminals, or damaged wiring causing resistive losses. Can be a fire risk if severe.
Typical loss: 3–20%
