Unlocking the Unreachable: Precision Drone Inspections
Solar Panel Inspections with Drone Technology
Drones equipped with infrared cameras can identify defective or underperforming solar panels by detecting anomalies in temperature, indicating issues like hot spots or cracks. High- resolution cameras on drones can quickly survey solar installations for physical damage, dirt accumulation, or wear without the need for technicians to inspect panels manually. For utility-scale solar farms, drones can scan hundreds of acres in a fraction of the time compared to ground-based methods. By identifying poorly performing sections, drones help maximize energy output and reduce downtime
