Solar Inspections
Florida's Leading Drone Solar Inspection Company
Inspecting solar fields traditionally involves using handheld thermal imagers to check each panel for defective cells or cables. Personnel manually track anomalies for post-maintenance. However, due to the scale of most solar farms, this method yields inefficient and imprecise data.
The integration of drone technology has significantly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection process.
Thermal cameras on drones can survey large areas within a solar farm, collecting high-resolution infrared images during a single flight.

If You're Unable Measure It, You'll Be Unable Manage It
There are several important factors to consider when looking for a solar panel inspection drone. Key among them is the type of imaging technology employed.
For instance, thermal imaging can reveal solar panel areas experiencing excessive heat due to faulty wiring or micro-cracks in the cells. Another important consideration is the drone’s resolution, as higher-resolution images can reveal finer details and allow for more accurate analysis.
Safety features, flight time, battery capacity, the kind of remote control used, and integrated software all factor into the choice made.
Why to Use Drones for Solar Inspections?
Increased Speed
A person might take two to three days to collect data, while a drone just needs a few hours to collect the data needed for a solar inspection.
Higher Savings
A drone is also a less expensive option for solar inspections than a person, in part because a drone can do the same work much more quickly.
Improved Data
A drone can collect data on the status of every single panel in your solar farm. That data can then be archived for future reference, allowing you to have a snapshot of the condition of your entire farm at a given moment in time.
