Any efficiencies gained from preventative maintenance with UAVs can have a significant impact on overall profitability. Identifying more issues than manual inspections, drones can lower inspection times by as much as 90%.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become critical in reducing these inspection costs. By 2019 the global solar farm market was valued at $61.4 billion, but by 2030 it is projected to increase to $267 billion worldwide.įor solar farms, asset preventative maintenance is a large part of minimizing downtime and keeping high maintenance costs at bay.
As the cost of production declined and efficiencies rose, building solar farms moved from theoretical academic studies to profitable companies.
