To set up a drone for a thermal survey, mission planning, and post-processing of the data to obtain an orthomosaic map and thermal map of the solar farm survyed and detection of defective solar cells.
Drone, Thermal camera, Battery, Interface device, USB cable, Landing pad.
Thermal UAV survey has thermal cameras designed for non-contact measurement of surface temperatures from-20°C upto 1900°C. They enable efficient monitoring and control of temperature-critical processes both at low temperatures and at very high temperatures. Their high thermal sensitivity survey is suitable for precise and dynamic tasks of monitoring and maintenance in industries and power plants.
Unfold the Antennas of the transmitter on both the sides.
Connect the device (phone/ipad) to the holder of the transmitter.
Insert the battery to the transmitter.
