FLIR Systems, Inc.
FLIR thermal cameras can be used for everything from
quality control during the PV cell manufacturing process
to PdM programs at solar installations. FLIR’s lock-in
thermography gives quantitative measurements of I-V
characteristics from localized shunts, and lets users calculate
the reduction in cell efficiency and map saturation
current density over the entire cell. Better quality control
results in less downtime and improved performance,
in turn boosting the viability of solar power as a major
energy source.

LiteSentry Corporation
LiteSentry Corporation offers three valuable tools for the solar
industry. The Osprey 5 Distortion Measurement System measures
optical distortion, including roller wave, in heat-treated,
as well as laminated glass, solar PV, and sheet plastic. The
Falcon by LiteSentry measures the precise size of glass sheets,
and the geometry of holes and drillings. One hundred percent
measurement allows sorting of defective product, and guarantees
that parts meet specification prior to shipment. The Raven
by LiteSentry Thickness & Coating Sensor measures moving
or stationary glass on-line to +/-0.08 mm thickness. This noncontact
glass thickness sensor provides 100% inspection.

JETprotect Corp.
JETprotect Interrogator is an all-in-one device to watch,
detect, analyze, geo-track, video record, and alert of
threats for remote, large areas of land that house valued
assets. One unit covers 7.5 square miles, which results in
great savings over multiple cameras and security guards.
Minimal or no security guards are needed, resulting in
increased reliability and lowered operational costs. Interrogator
is all-weather and detects in day, night, snow,
fog, rain, etc. This technology provides early warning of
approaching threat, long before they reach the perimeter,
and can illuminate and track a man at over one mile
distance. Interrogator offers Customized Alert Zones for
critical areas. iPhone/iPad wireless connection alert-andcontrol
function provides situational awareness to view
the site and see what Interrogator sees, in real time.
The Interrogator, installed at the beginning of a solar
project, protects against construction site losses. After
completion it continues to protect the energy and revenue
production.
