Utility Inspections 

ASL Drone thermal inspections of solar farms pinpoint underperforming panels fast, zeroing in on hot spots like dirty cells, cracked cells, or loose connections that tank efficiency. Flying low at dusk captures infrared signatures where heat builds up in faulty modules, flagging issues before output drops hit kWh goals. Contractors get geotagged reports in hours-no scaffolding or shutdowns-just quick fixes to max ROI, keep warranties intact, and dodge surprise downtime.

Retrofit Building Survey 

A rooftop 3D model built from drone LiDAR and photogrammetry hands installers a pixel-perfect blueprint-no ladder guesses, no tape measure marathons. Roof pitch, parapets, flashing, skylights: everything's mapped down to the flashing seam so panel arrays snap in flat, south-facing rows without edge waste or ballast surprises. Retrofits love it-contractors price racking hardware before ordering, engineers spot HVAC conflicts from their desk, and inspectors approve placement before crews ever climb up. Days shaved off layout, dollars off contingencies; the whole job clicks like a CAD render come alive.

Residential & Commercial Annual PV Panel Inspections 

Annual PV panel inspections catch hidden defects before they tank production, One annual drone thermal + RGB flight finds every issue: 

• Hot spots from cracked cells or bad bypass diodes can cut output 5–30 % in a single string.
• Dirt, bird droppings, and pollen build-up routinely drop yield 7–20 % if never cleaned.
• Loose connections or corrosion raise fire risk and void warranties.
• Delamination, micro-cracks, and PID worsen every year under UV and thermal cycling.
• Early detection keeps 25-year performance guarantees valid and avoids surprise 10–15 % annual degradation instead of the expected 0.5 %.
