5 Ways SenseHawk Drone Analytics Empowers Solar Asset Stakeholders
SenseHawk Drone Analytics helps extract actionable insights from solar sites to enable stakeholders to drive down costs and optimize operations.
Maximizing the efficiency and output of solar energy assets requires innovative tools and solutions to monitor, manage, and optimize these sites effectively. The SenseHawk Drone Analytics solution provides numerous advantages to solar energy asset stakeholders in terms of extracting actionable insights from their sites to enable informed decisions that not only drive costs down but also optimize operations.
SenseHawk’s analytics solution leverages the power of artificial intelligence and drone technology to transform aerial surveillance into valuable business intelligence and supports each stage of the solar energy project lifecycle, from initial site assessment to ongoing maintenance.
Enhanced Site Assessment and Design
SenseHawk's advanced drone analytics solution enables stakeholders to perform precise site assessments, ensuring optimal design and layout for solar installations. Drones equipped with specialized sensors capture high-resolution imagery and thermal data, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the site's terrain, shading, and other critical factors. AI algorithms process this data to provide insights that inform the design phase. This results in more efficient solar panel placement and increased energy yield, reducing the risk of costly rework.

Improved Construction and Quality Control
During the construction phase, drone analytics continue to play a pivotal role. Periodic drone scans for inspections and monitoring construction progress ensure that the installation is happening as per the design specifications. It allows stakeholders to identify any deviations from the plan, mitigating potential issues early in the process, avoiding post-construction corrections, and streamlining commissioning and handover processes.
Proactive Maintenance and Performance Optimization
In the operational phase, drone analytics help optimize performance and ongoing maintenance. Regular drone inspections help identify wear and tear, potential defects, debris accumulation on the solar panels, and other productivity issues. Promptly addressing defects and monitoring potential issues over a period helps stakeholders maintain optimal energy production and minimize downtimes. Proactive maintenance eases warranty claims management, saves on replacement and repair costs, and prolongs the lifespan of the solar installation.
