Thorough and high quality aerial thermal solar inspections

Katahdin Drone Services performs routine or on-demand solar inspections using advanced drone thermography for solar farms, commercial rooftop installations and utility-grade solar power plants. Utilizing cutting-edge drone technology and AI-driven analysis, we detect PV cell-level anomalies and defects that affect energy efficiency and shorten the lifespan of solar panels. Then, we deliver comprehensive and actionable reports to empower owners and O&M professionals to make informed decisions to maximize the efficiency and productivity of their solar assets.

Beyond the advanced drone technology, I also bring…

  • The FAA requires all drone pilots who are operating for commercial use to be licensed under Part 107. Beware of any drone operators who are not Part 107 licensed as it will expose you to unnecessary risk and liability by using their services.

  • Solar farm inspections require a working knowledge of thermography with special consideration given for aerial drone-based applications. I have been trained and certified by Infraspection Institute and currently hold both Level 2 Thermographer and sUAS Thermographer certificaitons.

  • Operating expensive drone technology with multiple thermal, wide angle and zoom cameras over and around high value solar assets carries with it a high degree of risk. I hold a policy with $2M in liability coverage through Skywatch.AI to protect you during an inspection. Do not expose yourself or your solar assets to unnecessary risk by working with uninsured or underinsured drone operators.
