Solar Inspections

Our visual and thermal inspections are indispensable in optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems. By tracking anomalies and facilitating proactive maintenance, we consistently achieve substantial cost savings for solar operators. Our drone captures comprehensive documentation for reference and remote inspection.

Calculations are provided for annual impact on energy production in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and affected DC.
Detailed reports are generated with interactive maps, high-res images, and exportable PDFs.
Rooftop solar installation inspections can be combined with building envelope assessments for a complete evaluation.

Building Inspections

Cell Anomalies

Localized hot spots where cell temperature exceeds adjacent areas, often due to cell damage or shading.

Surface Cracks

Surface cracking compromises the structural integrity of the module, reducing performance and can lead to moisture ingress, delamination, and electrical issues.

Diodes Faults

Involves the activation of a bypass diode to reroute current around a malfunctioning cell or module.

Internal Short Circuits

Occur when multiple cells experience anomalies within the diode boundaries, leading to increased temperature and potentially damaging neighbouring cells.

Module & String Outages

A module or a string of multiple modules connected in series, experiencing overheating or other defects causing reduced energy output and system downtime.

Vegetation & Soiling

Modules blocked by vegetation or soiled by dirt, dust, or debris, obstructs sunlight and reduces the efficiency of solar cells, requiring cleaning or maintenance.

Wind Inspections

Wind turbine inspections are crucial for evaluating the performance and condition of onshore and offshore turbines. Our drone-based inspections deliver substantial cost savings and accelerate the process by up to 80% compared to traditional manual inspections. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and specialized sensors, our drones thoroughly inspect all critical components, enhancing safety by eliminating height-related risks, reducing on-site personnel, and enabling more frequent inspections and proactive maintenance.

Tower

Detect welding defects to prevent cracks or splitting, and address coatings issues such as peeling paint causing corrosion, to maintain the structural integrity.

Blades

Pinpoint issues such as cracks, damage, paint peeling, deformation, lightning traces, water ingress, and through thermal imaging, potential defects caused by lightning or structural problems.

Nacelle

Reveal lightning traces, cracks, damage, corrosion, oil splits, and paint deterioration. Thermal imaging identifies hotspots in components like the generator, inverter, and transformer.

Hub

Identify problems including skewness, loose connections, structural damage, and overheating bearings, ensuring the reliability and safety of the wind turbine.

Infrastructure Inspections

Our aerial infrastructure inspections are designed for local, provincial, and federal government entities, as well as agencies and firms responsible for managing public infrastructure. Our team captures high-resolution photos and thermal imagery to identify defects and utilizes 3D digital models to quickly pinpoint the location and measure the scale of any damages. Our approach expedites data collection and provides critical insights for maintenance planning, budgeting, and timelines. Utilizing the latest RPAS technology, we reduce safety risks associated with hard-to-reach areas and offer comprehensive documentation for predictive maintenance and long-term asset management.

Bridges

The top-mounted cameras on our advanced drones can detect a wide range of defects, including deterioration and structural damage, to thoroughly evaluate a bridge's condition and safety.

Roads

We assess issues such as potholes, cracks, wear and tear, and safety feature damage. We can also monitor traffic conditions, aiding in management, planning, and efficient roadway construction.

Facilities

From industrial plants to government facilities, our drone inspections identify structure and equipment condition, and safety compliance, ensuring thorough maintenance assessments.

Utilities Inspections

Aerial inspections are an essential component of utility infrastructure management, providing effective asset oversight to ensure industry compliance. Our advanced drone technology empowers utility companies to streamline monitoring, mitigate risks, and maintain uninterrupted service delivery while minimizing operational costs and downtime.

Powerlines
