Construction Site Monitoring with Our DJI Drones: How We Help You Save Time and Money

How we, as drone specialists, make your project smarter, safer, and more efficient

At Droneview.be, we’ve been monitoring construction sites for years with our professional drones: a DJI M210 (equipped with a Z30 zoom camera and an XT2 thermal camera) and an Inspire 2 (with a sharp X5S camera). For project developers and contractors, this means: no hassle with flying yourself, but clear insights that prevent delays and save money. Below, we explain how we handle this for you.

Why choose us for construction site monitoring?
No investment needed: We provide the drones, pilots, and software.
Tailored expertise: Our M210 and Inspire 2 are perfect for:

  • Sharp details: The Z30 camera zooms in from 20m to inspect cracks or loose bolts.
  • Thermal inspections: The XT2 camera detects insulation leaks or electrical issues.
  • Precision measurements: The Inspire 2 creates high-quality 3D maps for volume determinations.
  • Certification in order: Our pilots hold the required A1/A3 certificate and comply with all Belgian drone regulations.

Green Certificates for Solar Panels: The Importance of Regular Inspections for Older Installations

Solar panels have a long lifespan, but after around 15 years, defects may start to occur that reduce the efficiency of your installation. Especially if your solar panels are receiving green certificates, it is essential to monitor the output and detect defects in a timely manner. This is particularly important for systems that will still be eligible for certificates in the next five years, as the output of defective panels affects the number of certificates you can claim.

The Impact of Defects on Output

Solar panels that are 15 years old often show defects such as damaged cells or faulty diodes. These defects can cause one or more panels to no longer function optimally, which lowers the output of the entire string. This loss can be significant, especially in older installations, which means that fewer green certificates will be received, resulting in lower income from these certificates.

Why an Inspection is Essential

A regular inspection can detect these defects and help maximize the output of the installation. By identifying the losses, necessary repairs or replacements can be made. This prevents further reduction in output and ensures that you can still benefit from the full value of your green certificates.

Solar Panel Testing: Uncovering Defective Cells with Droneview.be

On the Droneview.be blog, we’re excited to share our experience with a recent thermal inspection of solar panels for a client.

Solar panels are exposed daily to various weather conditions and factors that can affect performance. Regular inspections are essential to ensure optimal energy production and to quickly detect any defects.

For this inspection, we used our DJI M210 drone, equipped with the XT2 thermal camera. This setup allowed us to capture precise images that revealed any temperature variations on the panels. Thanks to thermal imaging, we can easily detect hotspots, which often indicate malfunctions in one or more solar cells.

During this test, we identified a noticeable hotspot on one panel, caused by a malfunctioning cell. This defective cell could have led to a loss in energy output if it had gone undetected. By pinpointing the issue through photos and reports, the client was able to take specific corrective action, preventing further energy losses.
