Key Benefits
Improvised Site Selection Process
GIS Drones help to improve site selection and planning for a utility or residential solar projects by standardizing the deliverable of ground surveys or roof panel designs.
We help streamline your process, making it easy to identify optimal locations based on demand, cost-effectiveness levels (CEL), access routes within an area, and any environmental factors like terrain complexity!
Professional and Efficient
Our drones can accurately survey and inspect solar panels using cutting-edge UAV technology.
Our team of trained pilots uses high-end drones with built-in thermal sensors for accurate readings on any damage or fault in the device while maintaining safety throughout all operations at any level!
Cost Effective Operation
Our services save costs while maintaining asset life—essential in today’s fast-paced economy!
It is possible to quickly detect cell failure, degradation of solar cells, disconnected strings, and other issues with our drone inspection data. Thermal sensors on our Drones allow us to provide the best possible inspection service.
Foresight Issues Before It Becomes One
GIS Drones can pinpoint any issue before it becomes significant news headlines across all media outlets. For example, we survey installed plants and thermal mapping with analytics on overheated cells or dirty panels that save your time and money in repairs downstream or accidental fire.
Aerial Solar Inspection Procedures by GIS Drones
Assessment of the Farm
The inspection crew initially inspects the whole farm – size, the number of panels, and electricity output capacity in megawatts. Then, before beginning the solar farm assessment, our team considers all input parameters.
Flight Planning
Our experienced inspection pilots plan flights by calculating ground distance points and drone battery capacity to avoid disturbing the drone capture operations. For convenience, our inspection crew stores spare batteries and drones.
Data Collection
Our solar inspection drones collect data using high-resolution RGB and thermal cameras. An average drone can take 260 high-resolution photos per flight and 25 flights per day. Later, the software translates the inspection data to thermal output.
Analysis
The maintenance team reviews the files to discover and rectify panel defects. They prepare reports on:
Data Processing & Reporting
The final stage comprises processing the data into an understandable form. Photogrammetry software creates Orthomosaics and heat maps from the drone images. The software also modifies map points using ground control points. Ultimately, our clients will get authorization to our AI software platform to access the inspection report results of their solar farms.
