Drones are revolutionizing business around the world and in the field of solar energy, some companies have been investing in the technology with the aim of offering more security to consumers.
At Intersolar this year, one of the great novelties of Go Solar It was precisely an aircraft designed to identify panel flaws through visual inspection.
O DJI drone and distributed by the company – called Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced – was launched on the market just over two months ago and costs around R$ 45 thousand (complete kit).
The equipment has movement control, which does not require a cell phone connection, and flies over large plants to detect overloads and other problems that can often go unnoticed.
“It is a drone that has been on the market for a few months and has very high operational efficiency, because the camera can zoom in the thermal area with a resolution above 540p. When a solar panel has a defect, it displays an apparent brightness showing that there is a fault at that point”, said Henrique de Freitas, the engineer responsible for the technology.
The equipment can detect faults through temperature gradients, facilitating the maintenance and durability of systems purchased by consumers.
“This drone has a different feature, which is thermal reading, which makes it much easier during solar and other electrical projects,” said Freitas.
The engineer also explains that the drone presented at this year's Intersolar has a series of screen options. In one of them, for example, it is possible to divide it into two parts to see the normal image on the right and the thermal image on the left of the display.
“We have several color palettes for thermal images and each of them fits best depending on the problem I'm looking to check. We can measure the temperature of people, objects, transformers, among other things”, he highlighted.
