Solar and wind farm inspections

[Kosmo98]

I'm trying to find information on solar and wind farm inspections, such as software and how to. Is anyone that does this be willing to share some insight? It can be through email if you prefer. Thank you

What I would do is contact the companies maintaining the sites. In my area there are a lot of them in the foothills between Tracy, CA and Livermore. I'm lazy, I don't want to travel that direction.

No android app, @HammerMissions ?

 

[HammerMissions]

@WildDoktor it's on the roadmap! Do you tend to use Android devices only?

Yep, (older) Android only here. Samsung Note 5 and Nvidia Shield K1 tablet.

@HammerMissions it seems you’re geared towards the operational side of things, what type of post processing services do you offer if any? “3D modeling” and “mapping” are listed as products on your website - what are the outputs of these, and are they easily accessed/shared with an end client?

@Midsky8778 great question! We were focused on the mission planning and operational side of things for the longest time, but with an overwhelming number of requests for analysing / processing the data, we've now started to deliver a data annotation & analysis platform as well. More details on this below:

Analyzing & Delivering Drone Data with Hammer Missions

In this post, we look at how you can upload, analyse, annotate and share drone data using Hammer Missions & Hammer Hub.

www.hammermissions.com

It's currently geared towards infrastructure inspection related work - with options to view the data in 3D. We'll shortly be providing photogrammetry based processing as well. Are there specific things you'd like to see that are missing in existing solutions?

@HammerMissions I emailed your support section at your site about possibly including Autel EVO2 640R into your aircraft list. I was very pleased at the quick response and answer that it is "on your roadmap" of things to do. Please keep us posted if this does become a thing. I'm all in!

I do high volume of Solar site inspection, but need more information from you. Like, where are you in this step? Are you already established? Do you have necessary equipment? Are you a Co looking to get into this or existing company with new client???? Are you looking to do Data Acquisition or providing a complete deliverable?? Many questions before I can help you

May I suggest 'Lazy' is not a good personal descriptor
