Aerial view of a solar farm with transmission pylons crossing farmland

Energy

Clean from above. Keep people off the array. Protect generation.

Cleaning, condition survey and vegetation mapping for solar farms and infrastructure corridors — recovering generation and building an asset record without putting anyone on or under the array.

Application platform
FP700 / DJI Mavic Multispectral
Compliant operations
CAA

What we do

Cleaner arrays. Clearer data. Better performance.

  • Drone-applied Vitapanel Clean ECO wash across the full array
  • High-resolution visual and multispectral condition survey of every table
  • Soiling, cracked glass, delamination and shading located to row and table
  • Vegetation and scrub encroachment mapped against modules and boundary
  • Fence line, access track and substation compound condition records
  • Before-and-after flights to evidence the change from a clean
  • Whole-site orthomosaic for O&M planning and asset reporting

What's the benefit

  • Recover generation lost to dust, pollen, bird fouling and traffic film
  • Nobody working on, under or between live modules
  • Defects arrive with a location, so O&M visits are targeted not exploratory
  • Cutting and cleaning rounds scheduled on evidence rather than habit
  • Whole sites covered in hours instead of days of walked inspection
