Can you fly during the day?
Yes, thermal anomalies actually show better in midday sun under load. The pro schedules between 11am and 2pm with at least 600 W/m² irradiance for accurate results.
What does a hot spot mean for my panel?
A hot spot usually means a cracked or shaded cell that's drawing power from the rest of the panel. Mild hot spots reduce output a few percent. Severe ones can permanently damage the panel and create fire risk. Most are warranty-replaceable if caught early.
