Efficiency-focused thermal audits for commercial PV arrays and solar farms — identifying cell-level faults and underperforming strings at scale. Altitude Hire is the leading provider of solar panel drone inspections uk for commercial and industrial clients across UK-wide and United Kingdom.
Our operations in UK-wide are managed by CAA GVC certified pilots with extensive experience in the United Kingdom area. We understand the specific airspace challenges of UK-wide, 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.
Creating a georeferenced thermal map of the entire solar farm.
Automated identification of common PV anomalies across large datasets.
We can typically cover 5-10MW of solar capacity per day depending on site layout.
Ideally clear skies and high solar irradiance (minimum 600W/m²) for accurate thermal signatures.
Yes, our high-resolution thermal sensors can detect individual failing cells within a panel.
Rapid response drone services for UK-wide's most demanding projects.
