THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Maintaining renewable energy assets like wind turbines and solar panels is crucial for optimal performance, and our drone inspection services offer a cutting-edge solution for this.

Equipped with advanced sensors, thermal imaging sensors, high-resolution cameras, or LiDAR, our drones can perform detailed solar panels, wind turbine inspections, and associated infrastructure.

This enables early detection of wear and tear, defects, or any other issues that could affect performance.

The UAVs can quickly cover large solar plants and wind farms, providing accurate and actionable data. This data can be easily integrated into existing asset management systems for real-time monitoring, aiding in predictive maintenance, operational planning, and performance optimization.

Solar panel drone inspections are carried out by Enertis Applus+, our solar services and energy storage solutions specialist, who has developed the Smart PV Inspection Tool to accelerate defect identification processes and increase accuracy by using a combination of infrared (IR) thermography on solar panels carried out with drones and Artificial Intelligence models.
