SkyVisor, a global leader in innovative in-house asset management solutions for the renewable energy sector, has forged a strategic multi-year partnership with BELECTRIC GmbH, a prominent player in the industry, to streamline and optimize in-house solar panel inspections.
A recent training day held on-site in one of BELECTRICs solar plants in Germany showcased the collaborative efforts of SkyVisor and the German solar energy specialist. During the training session, several members of BELECTRIC’s operations and maintenance team underwent comprehensive training on the SkyVisor Solar software and received the open category drone pilot licenses The training, conducted by SkyVisor’s experienced operations team, focused on introducing the automated flight procedures, safety measures and efficient evaluation of inspection data.
Not all defects in the modules of a solar farm are visible to the human eye. Thermography can reliably detect errors and safety-relevant defects such as broken cells, contamination, or reduced performance. SkyVisor Solar empowers its clients to achieve heightened efficiency and control, providing tailored software solutions that enable autonomous and independent solar panel inspections within just 9 minutes per MW, all prioritizing in-house capabilities.
“Using drones for thermographic system checks enables us to save time during maintenance and inspections. Thanks to SkyVisor, it is even easier and quicker for us to detect module damage and guarantee the smooth operations of our clients’ systems”, comments Tobias Völk, Head of German O&M at BELECTRIC.
In addition to the training session offered, the partnership between SkyVisor and BELECTRIC highlights the potential for collaboration and innovation in the renewable energy sector. By combining SkyVisor’s advanced software solutions with BELECTRIC’s industry expertise, the two companies are poised to drive efficiency, maximize performance, and accelerate the adoption of predictive maintenance strategies.
