Drone and Survey

Drone Technical Survey

A specialist drone survey combining high-resolution visual and thermal imaging to assess the technical condition and performance of an operating solar PV array.

Drone technical surveys go beyond basic roof condition assessment to evaluate the performance and electrical integrity of an installed solar PV system. Using thermal imaging cameras mounted on UAV platforms, operators identify hotspots, bypass diode failures, cell cracks, and delamination across large commercial arrays in a fraction of the time required for ground-based inspection.

Solar Surveys drone technical survey reports classify identified defects by severity and recommended action, from immediate replacement for safety-critical hotspots to scheduled maintenance for performance-limiting soiling or minor cell defects. Reports are structured to support operational asset management and maintenance planning for commercial solar portfolios.
