About

🔍 Looking to exchange ideas on Repowering, Condition Monitoring, Thermography & Drone Applications in PV systems! ☀🚀 As a passionate and experienced engineer in photovoltaics, I work every day to ensure the optimal performance of PV systems. As a TÜV-certified Expert for Photovoltaic Equipment and a certified drone pilot, I use cutting-edge technologies like thermography, aerial inspections to enhance efficiency, detect faults, and maximize energy yield. Continuous learning — both practical and theoretical — is a key priority for me. 💡 Topics I’m particularly interested in: ✅ Repowering and Revamping in Germany – How can we maximize the potential of existing systems? ✅ Condition Monitoring – Smart diagnostics for improved efficiency & longevity. ✅ Thermography & Drones – Advanced fault detection through aerial thermal inspections. I’d love to connect and discuss these topics with fellow professionals! Let’s exchange insights and push the industry forward. 🔋☀️
