Aerial solar inspections can assist asset owners at a number of points in the life cycle of a solar farm, including:

• Opitmise proper site commissioning;
• End of warranty claim inspections;
• Due diligence inspections on assets for sale;
• Ensure proper management and maintenance.

Uaviation’s solar farm inspection solutions allow for faster, safer, accurate site inspections. The unique perspective of low altitude aerial data capture offers solar energy providers with valuable, actionable information to maintain the plant at optimum productivity.

• High resolution visual and thermal (long-wave infra-red) data;
• Specialist solar panel inspection teams;
• Detailed analysis;
• Actionable reports.

Our clients benefit from the efficiency that drones can deliver to large-scale inspections. The receive actionable information that reduces maintenance costs and increases solar panel efficiency.

Uaviation use AI-enabled software that allows solar PV systems to adopt drone technology for efficient inspections.  The software solution reviews aerial images taken of the solar PV system and then identifies, locates and prioritizes all anomalies. This AI system enables Solar Farm managers to:

• Reduce cost;
• Eliminate oversights; and,
• Improves reporting.

Successful thermography (thermal imaging and analysis) depends on the operator’s understanding of the principles of emissivity, heat transfer and their application in the field in which they are working. That’s where Uaviation can help.  Now, with the ability to study images from the air, thermal infra-red imaging is becoming a powerful tool in asset inspection.
