Drone Solar Panel Inspection: A Case Study on PCL Construction

Wingtra

PCL Construction, one of the largest construction companies in Canada and the United States, faced a significant challenge when it came to drone data capture for solar construction projects. The company's existing quadcopters and multirotors were not sufficient for the task due to the repetitive and demanding nature of solar field construction projects. These projects required reliable data for daily monitoring, which the existing drones could not provide. The construction of solar fields happens in 'waves,' with production teams driving more than a thousand piles a day and module crews placing five times as many solar panels in the same timeframe. This fast-paced, large-scale construction offered a limited view from the ground, making drone data crucial. However, the company needed a dependable workflow and a processing engine that could deliver orthomosaics to the superintendent every night.
