Utility-scale solar O&M inspection

Exterior RGB screening for a utility-scale array may geolocate visible soiling, vegetation, debris, and obvious exterior anomalies for ground follow-up. It is not thermography, electrical testing, production analysis, or a warranty determination; confirmation is required.

PROGRAM

In this representative scenario, the energized array is flown in a single high-resolution RGB pass and the exterior imagery is reviewed for visible soiling, vegetation, debris, access-road condition, and obvious exterior anomalies. Observations may be geolocated to support ground crews in planning follow-up, but the imagery cannot establish an electrical, thermal, production, or warranty condition.

Coverage and observation criteria would be defined in the quote. Ground confirmation by qualified personnel is required, and no completeness guarantee is offered at any unit of the array.

Scope & deliverables.

Capture

Energized-array high-resolution RGB in one pass · standoff, no de-energizing, no disruption

Deliverables

Priority-ranked observed-condition log keyed to inverter ID · RGB orthomosaic · soiling and vegetation report

Cadence

Annual program baseline · post-storm or warranty-claim captures added on demand

Scope boundary

No thermography, electrical testing, production analysis, warranty determination, or completeness guarantee

How accuracy was held.

Position is not condition confirmation. RGB acquisition runs to the ASPRS workflow with PPK positioning; ground sample distance (GSD) and resolution are stated with each cycle. Geolocation helps a ground team navigate to an observation; it does not verify the cause, severity, electrical state, thermal state, production effect, or warranty status.

Delivery commitments.

Standard-scope deliverables are typically available in the portal within 24 hours of flight; larger, survey-tested, or multisensor scopes receive quoted timeline.
Free reprocessing, revision, and re-delivery for the life of the project, within original scope.
Data is processed in the field and checked for completeness before demobilization (coverage, overlap, control residuals); final validation follows the stated delivery method.
