Challenge and solution

Replace fragmented fieldwork with spatial intelligence

Traditional methods create risk, delays, and fragmented data

  • Manual panel checks are slow.
  • Hotspots, microcracks, and electrical defects may be invisible to the eye.
  • Large-scale farms need vegetation, terrain, soiling, and shading monitoring.
  • Locating underperforming panels or strings is difficult without mapped data.

Drone Tech captures precise, shareable, decision-ready insight

  • Use thermal and RGB capture to identify PID, hotspots, microcracks, soiling, dust, and shading.
  • Generate terrain and layout models for planning and installation optimization.
  • Create O&M digital twins for asset monitoring and predictive maintenance.
  • Map strings, inverters, and fault locations for faster maintenance dispatch.
