PV Module Inspection
Measure
Measure’s solar solutions allow for fast, safe, and accurate site inspec- tions. Their drone inspections are 95% more ef cient and, with 100% IR inspections, they identify defects that manual inspections might miss. Drone inspections take less than 10 minutes per MW and save, on average, $1200/ MW in costs, with larger sites saving more. They can also identify tracker misalignment, assess site shading, map pre-construction sites, and inspect towers and substations. Inspection data can be sent to a convenient smart phone app, which allows maintenance personnel to easily route to damages on site and update inspection results directly from the eld.
