FollowPV - Developing autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles with spatial awareness for improved image quality from solar farm inspections
1 Apr 2021 to 31 Mar 2022
The FollowPV project plans to develop a 'self-driving' (semi-automated) drone system for inspecting solar farms. Our device will allow a drone to follow rows of solar panels in the same way that a 'self-driving' car is able to keep in lane. However, unlike a car, a drone is not connected to the road by wheels. Therefore, our device must also enable the dr...
SolarGain - Using pattern recognition and AI to identify thermal defects and resulting power loss in solar farm performance
1 Jun 2019 to 30 Nov 2020
"Above Surveying uses drones, thermographic and visual cameras and automation to survey and identify under performing solar panels in utility scale solar farms. Using drones and automation ensures the data that is produced is consistent across all types of solar assets and across the seasons of the year which makes the data even more valuable for the cust...
