Drones for solar panel inspection

Safety is greatly enhanced by using drones. Inspecting rooftop solar panels can expose workers to falls and electrical hazards. Drones eliminate the need for climbing and direct contact with high-voltage equipment. Operators can conduct inspections safely from the ground, even in difficult weather conditions or challenging terrains.

Drones are also useful during other phases of solar projects. During construction and commissioning, drones can verify that panels are installed correctly and detect any damage before the system goes live. After extreme weather events like hailstorms or hurricanes, drones can quickly assess damage, helping owners file insurance claims and prioritize emergency repairs.
