Solar Farm Drone Inspection

Solar PV & Energy Infrastructure Inspections

High-resolution thermal and visual drone inspections for solar farms, rooftops, and commercial energy assets.

How We Can Help

We specialise in aerial thermal inspections of solar PV systems — from residential rooftops to sprawling commercial solar farms. Our drone-based surveys detect faulty panels, hotspots, string failures, and shading issues without interrupting operation or requiring rooftop access.

​

Whether you're maintaining a multi-megawatt solar park, auditing rooftop installs, or verifying new system performance, we provide fast, non-contact fault detection with thermal imaging that meets IEC standards.

​

You’ll receive a comprehensive report with side-by-side thermal and RGB images, annotated fault locations, and practical recommendations — all delivered quickly and ready for handover to installers, insurers, or O&M teams.

Traditional solar inspections are time-consuming, hazardous, and often miss deeper faults. Our drone-based thermal imaging reveals issues faster and more accurately — with no need to shut down systems or send teams onto rooftops.

 

Using radiometric thermal sensors and high-resolution visual cameras, we inspect:

  • Hotspots and defective modules

  • String failures and blown bypass diodes

  • Shading issues, soiling, and vegetation interference

  • Connector faults and loose terminals

  • Performance anomalies or early-stage degradation

 

Surveys are non-invasive and operationally safe — covering hundreds of kilowatts in minuets, not hours.

 

This service is ideal for:

  • Ground-mounted solar farms

  • Commercial and industrial rooftop systems

  • New installation validation

  • Periodic maintenance inspections

  • Warranty claims and insurance reports

  • Asset health checks during acquisition or refinancing

Deliverables

 

Every survey comes with a full digital inspection pack — built for clarity, action, and compliance. We don’t just scan your site — we give you structured insight.

 

You’ll receive:

  • Thermal and RGB image sets with geo-tagged fault locations

  • Annotated maps showing affected modules, strings, or zones

  • Summary fault tables (type, severity, coordinates, action required)

  • 2D orthomosaic of the array

  • Optional 3D site visual (for large or uneven installations)

  • Clear maintenance or warranty recommendations

  • Exportable GIS shapefiles and PDFs for contractor handover or compliance
