Carolina Solar Services provides Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Services for performance monitoring and site maintenance of clean energy systems. Drones are equipped with sensors and cameras that survey an entire landscape, easily spotting underperforming assets in a fraction of the time it takes with ground inspection.
During the fly over, photos are taken, uploaded, and then reviewed using a unique process that allows data to be tracked to the specific asset nomenclature on site, something no other aerial analysis company is offering as a standard service. Tracking data to specific inverters, combiners, and strings provides CSS technicians with information to efficiently and safely remediate performance issues. An inspection report provides a top-down searchable map with photos for the clean energy asset, along with approximate production and revenue impacts of deficiencies found.
Simply put, UAV technology means catching problems before something goes wrong. Servicing issues are identified quicker, problems are resolved, and units go back to full capacity much faster.
UAV is an important inspection tool for another reason. The size and number of projects are increasing. In other words, more installations mean more inspections for asset owners, and leveraging aerial data as part of commissioning or preventative maintenance is the most cost-effective way to determine an asset’s health.
CSS UAV Services include:
- Aerial data tracking
- Key performance indicator tracking
- Enhanced performance monitoring
- Precise site maintenance
