Drone thermal inspection of solar panel array

Commercial Drone Services

Solar Panel Drone Inspections

Thermal and visual drone inspections that identify underperforming panels, hot spots, and system faults — without interrupting production.

What We Deliver

Maximize Output. Minimize Downtime.

Degraded or failing solar panels silently drain your system's output. Brown's Aerial Photography uses drone-mounted thermal cameras to scan your entire array and pinpoint exactly which panels are underperforming — and why.

Whether you manage a rooftop commercial array or a utility-scale ground-mount farm, our inspection reports give your O&M team the precise data needed to prioritize repairs and protect your investment.

Our Process

Precision Inspection, Panel by Panel

01

Array Assessment

We review your system layout, panel count, and access requirements to plan an efficient flight path.

02

Thermal & RGB Flight

Our drone captures simultaneous thermal and visible-light imagery across the entire array.

03

Anomaly Detection

Thermal data is analyzed to identify hot spots, string failures, soiling, and physical damage.

04

Inspection Report

You receive a georeferenced anomaly map, per-panel findings, and prioritized repair recommendations.
