Drone solar and wind farm control services

Sustainability also requires maintenance.

As humanity decreases its use of fossil fuels, so does the use of clean energy. However, these facilities require regular maintenance for their operation to be with maximum efficiency.

Renewable energy parks are a challenge, as there are several factors such as dirt or faulty cells that can decrease plant efficiency.

Surveillance drones for solar and wind farms

The use of drones in the maintenance of power plants has revolutionized the sector due to the amount of technical data that unmanned aerial vehicles can provide in their reports and, therefore, improve business decision-making.

Areas of action, drones for solar and wind farms

Maintenance

Maintenance work in solar and wind farms becomes an obligation if you want complete efficiency in energy installations. Dirt and possible structural defects can decrease the effectiveness of the plant.

Prevention

The use of drones during supervision tasks, in addition to providing detailed data, has an important characteristic: reduced risk for maintenance personnel, who are able to know what is happening in the plant without having to put themselves in danger.

Benefits: control tasks in solar and wind farms

Damage to detail detected in less time

Possible defects in the power plant, whether superficial or structural, will be detected from any angle in less time, compared to the detection of defects with manual methods.

What could previously cost weeks, drones do it in a few working days, in addition to capturing much more details that used to be overlooked.

The value lies in the details

Before the existence of drones in inspections of renewable energy plants, such as solar or wind farms, maintenance tasks were carried out manually, monitoring each module individually and, sometimes, by sampling.

With the advent of drones, reports are immensely more accurate, because one hundred percent of the plant is analyzed, thus increasing the effectiveness of controlled parks.

Savings in execution costs

In addition to capturing more precise details and from any angle, monitoring renewable energy plants with drones will save execution costs, preventing, in turn, putting the person responsible for inspecting the structures at risk.

You're in good hands

Frequently Asked Questions: drones for solar and wind farms

How does drone monitoring of a power plant work?

Drones offer an effective and efficient method of predictive maintenance of a solar or wind farm, since it becomes responsible for carrying out periodic routines for monitoring installations, detecting, if appropriate, possible structural and functional damage or defects.

Why is the use of drones more effective in monitoring solar and wind farms than other traditional methods?

The use of drones is more effective in monitoring renewable energy parks compared to other traditional means due to the reduction of occupational risks for employees, the significant cost savings and their reduction of the environmental footprint since they are electrical devices with zero emissions during their work.

Who can fly a drone to monitor solar and wind farms?

To pilot a drone to inspect solar and wind farms, you need to be qualified as a professional pilot. At PAINTEC we help you with all the procedures to follow to obtain a license to fly surveillance and control drones.
