Drone and Survey

Drone Roof Condition Assessment

A systematic drone-based visual inspection of a commercial roof to document condition, identify defects, and assess suitability for solar PV installation or continued operation of an existing array.

A Drone Roof Condition Assessment uses high-resolution UAV imagery to document roof surface condition, waterproofing integrity, drainage paths, structural distress signs, and any existing penetrations or fixtures. The assessment produces a comprehensive photographic condition report that supports pre-installation planning, maintenance scheduling, and refinancing due diligence for solar-generating assets.

Solar Surveys combines drone roof condition assessment with structural survey services for commercial solar PV projects. The drone assessment identifies physical condition factors, including membrane degradation, block damage, and ponding areas, that may affect the structural survey scope or the choice of mounting system. Combined structural and drone assessment packages are available for projects requiring both services.
