Cost saving due to efficiency gains using drones compared to manual testing

We help you collect data and turn it into actionable reports to maximise your assets, efficiency and productivity. By doing this, we give you back the luxury of time so you can be where you need to be without unnecessary delay

Receive high quality images of your site via detailed interactive E-report.  

Our drones take two layered images for more accurate readings. The first image is in regular standard colour (RGB). This view is useful for physical barriers that may be crippling power input into your site. 

As shown in the picture to the right you can clearly see vegetation that is covering the panel and thus blocking sunlight. Our drones also capture soiling from birds no matter the size, as even the slightest barrier will jeopardize efficiency.

The second image that is taken is a thermal image. This method of photography allows the user to see potential unseen threats to their site.

In this image we can clearly see white dots. These white dots are multiple cells within the same module malfunctioning. 

This imagery easily pinpoints the affected area and labels it so your O&M teams know exactly where to go and what tools to bring allowing them to fix the issues much faster.

The E- Report  gives a full interactive map for the user to manipulate to their desire. Zoom out and see your full site for a general overview of discrepancies, or alternatively zoom in and view individual panels.

Find anomalies by type or by section to communicate to your O&M teams.

The E-Report has a full summary to really put in perspective your current fixable losses. Convert the currency to your own and see the impact of surveying your whole site immediately.

E-Reports are also accessible by downloading our App. So you can access your site on the go! 

Engineers can update you on their progress with a simple reporting system on the app which is updated in real time.

"On the 2nd of July 2019, Drone Tech Solutions performed a site visit to provide a thermographic report of the panels installed in one of our solar farms and I can highly recommend them, as they were very professional people, very punctual, they helped us with everything we requested and answered all our questions. The report was sent in a very short period and the information provided on it was very useful for us and complete. We also received a call from them explaining all the details expressed in the report and they were always open to solve and explain any query we had. As said highly recommended and prices quoted very competitive. I definitely will continue working with them in the future."
