Using UAV equipped with thermal camera offers many advantages for rooftop solar panel inspectors and operators of massive solar farms. In addition to being able to clearly view temperature anomalies on a crisp thermal image, the UAV can be used to scan installed solar panels during normal operation across large areas within a short time frame.
This allows problem panels to be isolated quickly, ready for remedial action, keeping energy production at optimum levels. Instead of sending inspectors out into the plant to check individual panels on foot, a Drone Solar Panel Inspection with high resolution video and thermal camera provides the image clarity needed to carry out initial inspections.
Inspectors then are only required to investigate problem areas, significantly increasing their efficiency and productivity.
Wind Turbine Inspections:
Present unique challenges for maintenance inspections. Current methods involve hoisting staff to heights that present significant health and safety risks. As a result each inspection requires extensive downtime and meticulous planning before it can be carried out, reducing the overall efficiency of energy generation.
Conducting wind turbine Drone inspection via UAVs is a significant improvement over existing methods. A UAV is able to fly precisely and accurately in close proximity to the turbine, taking away the need to put people at risk.
Capable of capturing 16 megapixel photos and 4K video the images these cameras capture are detailed enough for fine post-inspection analysis while the live feed will allow operators to see significant problems as they fly.
Drone Surveys
Drone inspections reduce risks and costs across the energy industry.
Examples of Drone Surveys:- Wind Turbines
- Solar Panels
- Communication Towers
- Building Externals
- Power Lines
