Time-Costs-Safety
Achieve Maximum Energy Production and Faster ROI from your Solar Farms
​
Our Drones are equipped with a combination of sensors and revolutionizing the development, deployment and inspection of Solar Power Plants, both Roof Top and Ground Based. Equipped with thermal imaging, photo, and video cameras, drones perform a variety of GIS and Inspection roles.
​
Value of Drones for Solar Farm Inspections
​
-
Rapid and Easy scans for Roof tops and arrays
-
Hot spot identification showing defective cells / Geotagged image
-
Diagnostic purpose / Planning of Panel Placement
-
Infrared signatures show defective panels
-
Keep the solar farm running at peak efficiency
-
Save time with pre-selected way point aerial inspections



Ground Based Solar Farm
Development Phase
​
During the development stage, ASATRobos UAV based GIS service provides Contour Maps, DSMs, DTM, Orthophotos and more with accuracy greater than .5m. This allows the installation and MEP to be planned in great detail ensuring minimal cut and fill.
​
During the project management phase periodic surveys using ASATRobos UAVs allows for the development of as-built– surveys. These can be overlaid on the build drawings to ensure that construction is as per plan and schedule.


Operational Phase
​
ASATRobos UAVs utilize both visual and thermal cameras to inspect the solar arrays. Visual inspection allows for discovery of potential damage and debris build up, while Thermal inspection identifies areas where cells are potentially defective or damaged. Using a combination of the ASATRobo UAV equipped with a Thermal and visual camera means that large areas can be inspected within a matter of hours. Our systems can cover between .5-5sqm per hour.
Roof Top Solar Plants
Development Phase
​
Rooftops by their very nature are difficult areas to operate. Using ASATRobos UAVs to develop a 3D model of the building allows planners to note mounting points, lifting points, conflict areas and other relevant data while keeping the engineers feet safely on the ground. It is also very cost and time effective.

All this is done while the engineer stays safely on the ground.
