Cleaning Solar Panels With Drones

Do you want to clean all those mirrors.

Cleaning solar panels with drones.

Aerial power is the first company to develop a fully automated drone based method for cleaning solar panels. Sandstorm approaching solar park photo. Thankfully a german engineer has come up with a way to use drones to deal with the problem. This is where cleaning solar panels may have to be done.

Cleandrone inspects large pv solar farms in a fully automated efficient way using computer vision and artificial intelligence. This is a great question on solar panel care and one that comes up often. These drones are smaller more agile and more than capable of dealing with the constant problem.

At the same time it can measure heat failings so that site crew can pinpoint the reason behind it. To wash or not to wash. Our sense and engage on board navigational system enables drones to work quickly and efficiently in hard to reach places. With drones you can cross the whole solar farm and maintain the plant from above drones are also gentler on delicate solar equipment than robots that move around with wheels or suction.

Solar panels are generally self cleaning but in particularly dry areas or where panel tilt is minimal dust and other substances such as bird droppings can build up over time and impact on the amount electricity generated by a module. A uav drone or a quad copter drone can be programmed to do a surveillance inspection depending on the necessities of the solar from using an infrared camera with thermal imaging to a normal ultrahd 4k video in order to spot different areas of the solar panels at a high resolution. Called solarbrush our specially adapted unmanned aerial vehicle uav is an efficient low maintenance and environmentally friendly way of maintaining solar farm efficiency.
