Tabuk Solar Farm Drone Inspection
Project Overview
Project Overview
The Tabuk solar farm is one of Saudi Arabia’s largest renewable energy installations. We provide drone-based thermal inspection services to optimize performance.
The Challenge
Manual inspection of 1.2 million solar panels is impractical. Faulty panels reduce energy output and can cause cascading damage if undetected.
Our Solution
We implemented an automated drone inspection system:
- Thermal Imaging: Radiometric cameras detecting temperature anomalies
- AI Fault Detection: Automatic hotspot and defect classification
- Panel Mapping: GPS-tagged defect locations for repair crews
- Performance Analytics: Energy loss estimation and prioritization
Results
- 1.2M panels inspected in 2 weeks
- 99% detection accuracy for panel faults
- 8% improvement in energy output after repairs
- 90% faster than manual inspection methods
