What is a UAV & how does it work?

The UAV concept will incorporate three technologies: machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence and path-planning, and recognition methods. These methods will be used to achieve high accuracy and precision information on the degradation or defect presence on individual solar panel modules.

How does dronedeploy work?

Through aerial maps and 3D models, DroneDeploy automates analysis and reporting to speed up the site survey process, standardize the deliverables, reduce direct risk to workers conducting inspections, and improve collaboration with stakeholders.

How many solar panels are in sight?

In total there are 423 stationary images and corresponding annotations of solar panels within sight, along with 60 videos taken from flying the UAV roughly at either 8 m/s or 14 m/s. In total there are 2,019 solar panel instances annotated. Associated publication:

How can drone technology help the energy industry?

In the energy sector, workers are susceptible to hazards such as working at large heights, high voltage contact, confined areas, and variable weather. Drone technology can be used to provide real-time, high-quality data that plant managers can use to conduct safe inspections, all at a low-cost.
