Drones vs. aircrafts for PV plant inspection

Scientists in Italy have investigated the performance of drones and a human-crewed airplanes for carrying out aerial infrared thermography inspections on PV power plants. According to their findings, airplanes may be more cost-effective.Researchers from the University of Genoa and Italian aerial inspection company Wesii have compared the aerial infrared (IR) thermographic results of PV plant inspections by either classical thermal cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or highspeed thermal cameras mounted on an airplane. Their research included an economic analysis of both remote sensing-based ...
