Regional Asset Profile: Lumina Solar Project (Lumina I & II) (Scurry Co., TX)

At 640 MW, this is among the largest solar installations in Texas. Facilities of this scale typically require phased inspection programs — dividing the array into sections inspected quarterly to maintain full coverage without disrupting operations. First-year operational inspections are critical for establishing baseline thermal signatures and catching installation defects that survived commissioning testing. Early detection typically falls under manufacturer warranty coverage. Thin-film CdTe technology exhibits different thermal characteristics than crystalline silicon — lower temperature coefficients mean smaller thermal deltas for equivalent defects. Our inspection criteria are calibrated to thin-film thermal behavior for accurate defect detection.
