Solar Farms

Solar farms present a compelling case for the use of thermal cameras on drones. When a solar panel is malfunctioning, it easily stands out as a thermal anomaly (in relation to the other panels around it that are operating normally), when viewed through a thermal camera. It isn’t even necessary to record exact temperatures of the panels, as the effect is usually pretty obvious.

 

CDS Differentiators:

• My Matrice 300 is the ideal tool for this job, with dual downward gimbals and the ability to carry a large payload. See CDS Resources

• My XT2 thermal camera, with its 25mm focal length, is ideally suited to up-close solar panel inspection work. (Note: thermal camera on Zenmuse H20T is a 13.5mm focal length, can give wider angle view than XT2). See CDS Resources

• My H20T quad-sensor camera is ideally suited for detailed visual photography of anomalies at a safe distance, using its high-power zoom capabilities. See CDS Resources

• My vehicle is extremely well setup for continuous drone operations in extreme terrain and remote locations. See CDS Resources

• Vast experience in this field, via Partner Network
