Redefining solar farm drone support

We understand that accurate site data is essential for a successful solar farm project. That’s why we utilise advanced drone technology to provide fast, precise and cost-effective site surveys.

Our high-resolution aerial mapping delivers detailed topographical data of your entire site, significantly reducing time and costs. This approach allows us to:

• Create a High-Resolution Digital Twin 

We generate a detailed 3D model that accurately represents your site’s terrain, elevation changes and key features.

• Optimise Solar Panel Placement

By analysing precise topographical data, you can position solar panels for maximum sunlight exposure and energy efficiency.

• Accelerate Design & Approvals

Our survey data integrates smoothly with leading solar design software, streamlining system layout, expediting permitting and ensuring a smoother project timeline.

With Wingman Drones you gain access to accurate data and efficient workflows, giving your solar project the precision and insight needed for optimal performance.

We know that keeping your solar project on schedule is crucial. Delays and unexpected challenges can impact both your timeline and budget, making real-time progress tracking essential.

Our drone-based aerial inspections provide a clear, high-resolution overview of your solar farm throughout the construction process, allowing you to:

• Monitor Progress in Real-Time

Stay up to date with detailed aerial imagery that tracks the installation of solar panels, mounting structures and electrical components, ensuring everything stays on schedule.

• Detect Issues Before They Cause Delays

Drone inspections can identify potential problems early, helping you catch deviations from the plan or safety risks before they escalate into costly setbacks.

• Improve Communication & Collaboration

Share high-quality aerial visuals with project managers and stakeholders to enhance transparency, streamline decision-making and keep everyone aligned.

By integrating drone technology into your construction progress monitoring, Wingman Drones helps you stay up to date with important information, address issues proactively, and ensure a smooth and efficient project completion.

Routine thermal inspections are essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your solar system. At Wingman Drones, we use advanced drone-mounted thermal imaging technology to detect hidden issues that could impact performance, helping you prevent energy losses and costly repairs.

This specialised approach allows us to identify potential problems such as:

• Hot Spots & Faulty Components

Abnormal temperature variations can signal defective cells, loose connections or even fire risks. Early detection helps prevent system failures and expensive downtime.

• Common Issues Detected 

Bypass Diode Failures (Can create irregular heating patterns and reduce system efficiency)

Single or Multiple Hotspots (Indicate defective cells, poor soldering connections or localised overheating)

Faulty or Degraded Modules (Panels with internal defects or degradation that show abnormal thermal signatures)

Disconnected or Loose Connectors (Can result in overheating at junctions visible as temperature irregularities)

• Shading Problems

Thermal imaging reveals areas affected by shading from nearby structures or vegetation, helping optimise panel placement for maximum energy output.

• Dirt & Debris Build-Up

Contaminants on solar panels reduce energy efficiency and can cause overheating, leading to long-term damage. Regular inspections ensure optimal performance.

With our professional drone pilots you get precise, data-driven insights to keep your solar farm/system running at peak efficiency.
