Our drone team

The whole plant, seen from above.

World-leading DJI enterprise drones survey your solar plant in thermal and in 3D, inspect turbine blades up close, and even clean them. Fast surveys, repeatable routes and module-level reports.

Solar drone inspections

Fast visual and thermal surveys of your whole plant.

A drone flies a programmed route over every row. The thermal camera flags hotspots, failed diodes, hot strings and dusty areas running hot, each tied to its exact location.

Captured by our drone team

Every row, on a repeatable route.

The same flight path each time, so this year's survey lines up with last year's, panel for panel.

LiDAR scans

Accurate 3D surveys of your site.

A LiDAR sensor fires laser pulses from the drone and builds a dense point cloud of the ground, every row and the vegetation around it.

  • Terrain and drainage, to plan roads and stop erosion
  • Row and table heights, to check trackers and mounting
  • Grass and bush heights, to plan cutting and fire breaks
  • Road dust sources, a major cause of soiling
More from our drone team

Solar and wind, from one team.

Every flight is planned with a site risk assessment and flown to your site rules.

Turbine inspections

Close-up drone checks of blades and towers, before and after cleaning.

Wind turbine services

Drone blade cleaning

Our proprietary drone system foams and cleans turbine blades in hours instead of weeks.

Blade cleaning

Soiling maps

Flights before and after a clean show where dirt builds up and prove the result.

Nobody at height

Drone inspections and drone cleaning keep people on the ground. That means far less risk of injury, fewer approvals and faster mobilisation.
