Local Expertise
Our operations in Leeds are managed by CAA GVC certified pilots with extensive experience in the West Yorkshire area. We understand the specific airspace challenges of Leeds, including local restricted zones and coordination requirements.
Manual solar inspection is slow, incomplete, and often only covers a fraction of the array. Drone thermal imaging allows for the rapid inspection of thousands of panels in a single flight, identifying cell-level hotspots, bypass diode failures, and string anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye.
