In today’s video we will be performing a drone solar farm inspection using a thermal camera. This method of PV inspection has become a fast growing trend for solar companies and O&M teams.
Here’s a quick preview of what you’ll learn:
#1 The basic format of how a drone solar farm inspection is performed.
#2 Gear, equipment, and software that is commonly used for PV inspections.
#3 Post processing drone software and its features.
For more information about drones in the solar industry stay tuned until the end of the video for a handful of free PDF downloads that cover manual vs drone inspections, how drones are saving solar companies money, as well as how much drone solar inspections cost.

Great work... I'm trying to start this business in Belgium.. And I believe your tips will help me out in the long run..
Nice video, well done.
I'm viewing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. in our province we have the Travers Solar Farm with almost 500,000 solar panels and another one the largest Urban Solar Farm in all of Canada is currently being built right inside our city of Calgary. I was looking for some Drone footage of these projects but none exist YET.
Awesome. Is it possible also inspect to the condition of the solar panel foundation
Rooftop ballasts yes, ground mounted foundations I don't believe so
Nice job with videos. Question..how do you go about getting such jobs ? I’m level 1 suas thermographer but have not been able to get to the right people to sell my thermal service. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
What post processing software?????
im an environmental engineer, im looking for a drome for thermal analysis, specially on Photovoltaic Plants, Georreferencing, Topography, i was wondering which drone would fit me best since im starting in business here in Amazon Forest!
Thats great to hear! Check out this article for answers: thedronelifenj.com/solar-inspection-drones/
If you can’t get to it by car then how do they repair it?
I too am curious about the data processing software . . . Pix4DMapper or other/proprietary software?
There are a few, aerospec technologies, dronedeploy, DJI has one, raptor maps
which one details /numbers the panels?
Is there a time window best for flying solar farms?
And is overcast better than clear sky?
Mid day is the best time to fly and you’d want a clear sky with a maximum cloud cover of 2/8 of the sky
How often do you inspect a farm?
typically 1-2 per year
What is the model of this drone?
He literally says it in the video and it even says it on the drone case. You must not have been paying attention...
What is the data processing software?
aerospec technologies, dronedeploy, DJI has one, raptor maps
