Revolutionizing Solar Plant Operations
Above and DroneDeploy have teamed up to make solar plant management easier by combining automation and smart technology.
Simplifying Solar Management
This collaboration merges Above’s SolarGain platform with DroneDeploy’s reality capture tech, making solar asset management more efficient from start to finish. Using docked drones, operators can gather detailed site information without much manual work, saving both time and money. With features like Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK), and Ground Control Points (GCPs), the system ensures accurate mapping and 3D imaging. This means inspections, construction checks, and operational improvements are all automated.
Why This Partnership is a Game Changer
Solar managers can expect several perks from this alliance:
- Automated Data Collection: Drones do the inspections with precision, guided by professional pilots.
- Better Site Oversight: SolarGain helps track progress and quality during construction with fast reporting.
- Digital Twin for Commissioning: Speeds up scanning tasks and solves remaining issues quickly.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Keeps solar assets in top shape with intelligence on each component.
- Seamless Integration: Links to task systems and SCADA platforms for smooth management.
Sometimes, people just want solutions that make their tasks easier.
Setting New Standards
This partnership is a leap forward in updating how solar plants are managed. Peregrine Fraser from Above shared his enthusiasm, saying, “By combining our expertise with DroneDeploy’s innovative automation technology, we are setting a new standard in solar plant management. This partnership enables our customers to make data-driven decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy, maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of their solar assets,” Fraser said. James Pipe from DroneDeploy added, “Partnering with Above allows us to deliver a comprehensive solution that combines the best of automation and intelligence. Together, we’re providing solar asset managers with the tools they need to streamline operations and drive success at every stage of the solar plant lifecycle.”
What Lies Ahead for Solar Management
This partnership gives solar managers a strong tool for managing assets effectively by bringing together advanced automation and intelligence. The focus is on better data collection, improved efficiency, and keeping assets healthy over the long term. For more information, visit the websites of Above Surveying and DroneDeploy.
