 The latest from SUMO GeoSurveys, providing a range of aerial and geospatial surveys using drones, known commercially as UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems). 
 
 
 

Solar Express!

 
 
 

Drone thermography is an unrivalled method for inspecting solar farm arrays to identify faults and, in turn, help maintain its efficiency.

 
 
  With the capacity to survey large solar farms in only a day, drone surveys are a high-yield, low-value technique for ensuring long-term stability.

Thermographic Methodology

 
 
 A drone is flown across each solar array, recording sequential thermal video. Each frame can be analysed by an independent thermographer to identify faults in the cells which may impact the efficiency of the solar farm. The data will contribute to a report, detailing which cells require maintenance.

Drone Capabilities

 
 
 As the summer months beckon and solar farms will be operating at their highest demand, there is no better time than now to book in your Drone Thermographic Survey.
