Actionable Insights for O&M Teams

Why Work With Us vs. DIY?

Performing drone-based aerial thermography inspections of solar assets requires a significant investment in training, equipment, software and time in order to conduct missions responsibly and with a high degree of quality and accuracy.

Drone laws are constantly changing and technology is always improving which is why you should trust Katahdin Drone Services to always be ahead of the curve so you can benefit from the latest advancements to maximize your investment in solar.

For most solar company O&M programs, a $40,000+ investment to perform DIY drone inspections in-house just doesn’t make sense...
