Description
12MP luminescence imaging for nighttime PV inspections
The EP-NU-1200 is a specialised nighttime PV luminescence inspection system for solar farms. It delivers 12MP images with a 46.3°×36° field of view and supports live image preview. The payload records GPS/BeiDou coordinates with each image and offers adjustable camera settings. It is compatible with DJI M350 and M400 drones, though specific integration details require confirmation.
Included inspection system
The advertised price includes the EP-NU-1200 camera system and the compatible PV control box required for the agreed project. The module-level or string-level control-box arrangement is checked against your site before dispatch. Aircraft and flight batteries are separate.
Where this payload fits
PV Solar-Farm Luminescence Inspection
Capture nighttime PV luminescence imagery for a qualified inspection team to review module anomalies using the agreed inspection method.
Incoming Module Quality Checks
Use luminescence images as part of incoming-module quality review. Findings must be evaluated through the applicable inspection method and acceptance criteria; imaging alone does not establish standards compliance.
Post-Installation Module Inspection
Document visible luminescence anomalies after installation and support a qualified inspection team in deciding what follow-up checks are needed.

Plan the complete inspection system: EL/PL luminescence capture uses a manufacturer-defined inspection method. Confirm module/string preparation, any required EP-CB-M or EP-CB-S control box, qualified personnel and the supplied system configuration. This camera is not a radiometric thermal-temperature payload. Day/night capability does not establish rain tolerance or an IP rating.
Capture and processing workflow
- Confirm the drone and gimbal compatibility with the EP-NU-1200 payload.
- Arrange the manufacturer-approved nighttime inspection method, control-box setup and site-specific electrical preparation with qualified personnel.
- Adjust camera parameters and ensure the interface is in English if required.
- Conduct the nighttime inspection and review live image preview for quality.
- Save and export JPEG images with GPS/BeiDou coordinates for further analysis.
Software and data review
Confirm the supplied software, firmware, English-interface option and coordinate-recording settings. Verify saved image metadata during setup. Follow the manufacturer-approved, site-specific electrical and inspection procedure.
Software names describe the manufacturer-associated workflow. Included licences, seat counts, licence term and supplied calibration equipment must be confirmed for your configuration.
Matrice 400 integration and selection
The EP-NU-1200 is stated to be compatible with DJI M350 and M400 drones. Specific gimbal adapters, firmware, and connectivity details require confirmation with the manufacturer.
Verify that the EP-NU-1200 is intended for nighttime use only and is not a thermal temperature camera. Ensure compatibility with your drone model and confirm site-specific electrical and safety procedures with the manufacturer.
The compatible project control box is included in the advertised system price. Aircraft and flight batteries are separate. Confirm the required aircraft adapter, supplied software and project accessories before ordering; the manufacturer’s platform statement is not a claim of DJI certification.
Product questions
Can the EP-NU-1200 be used during the day?
No, the EP-NU-1200 is a nighttime-only variant and is not suitable for daytime use.
What image format does the EP-NU-1200 output?
The EP-NU-1200 outputs JPEG images with GPS/BeiDou coordinates recorded for each image.
Is the EP-NU-1200 compatible with DJI M350 and M400 drones?
Yes, the manufacturer explicitly lists compatibility with DJI M350 and M400, though specific integration details require confirmation.
Does the EP-NU-1200 support thermal temperature measurement?
No, the EP-NU-1200 is a PV luminescence inspection system and does not provide thermal temperature measurement.
