Drone Media Imaging are thrilled to be part of an upcoming project that, we believe, can revolutionise the way that loss adjusters carry out their inspections, especially in the areas of property. We are currently still in the final testing stages but essentially, this project will enable a local drone operator to be deployed to a site that requires inspection, and communicate from there with the loss adjuster assigned by the insurance company.  The loss [...]

We were honoured to be asked to work with the BBC's One Show team to assist in putting together an exclusive piece to accompany their interview with Gemma Dowler.  Gemma has just written a book, My Sister Milly, speaking about her life and the trauma that her, and her family, went through when her sister was abducted and since.

It was a hot and sunny day down at the Welsh beach of Merthr Mawr where we were filming along the BBC One Show team providing aerial cinematography for a piece that they were putting together on sand marble rallying. You might think of marbles as a child's plaything but believe you me, there's a lot involved in creating the courses for these grown up races and a lot of energy [...]

Never let it be said that the life of a drone pilot is not varied.  Tomorrow it's a day of filming for the BBC One Show in the beautiful sand dunes of Merthr Mawr, near Bridgend in Wales where we are covering an article on Sand Marble Rally Racing - yes, we didn't know that it existed either!

June 23rd is National Bring your Dog to Work Day so we thought we would try out an apprentice for the day.  He doesn't have opposable thumbs so flying is definitely going to be a problem for him but on the other hand, he does love a biscuit so he fits right in with the team. Fancy sharing your workspace with that special pooch - use the button below to find out more about how to join the [...]

Ravenswood Hotel is a wedding and event venue that has been undergoing big changes in the last few months.  Having been run by the same gentleman for more than 30 years, he decided that it was time for him to move on to pastures new and sell the hotel. While he would rather have sold it as a hotel and venue, it looked for a while that it would be converted into residential units. That was until Samantha [...]

The increasing drive towards meeting the nation's energy needs through renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power has been big news in the construction and energy sectors for a long time now. Solar panels are incorporated almost as standard onto new building housing and solar farms are no longer an uncommon sight in the English countryside.  However, this increased usage also means that there is an increasing demand for maintenance to ensure that [...]

Drones, Thermal Imaging Inspections and Solar Panels

2025-02-15T01:13:38+00:00June 11, 2017|Categories: Archive|

Solar farms can contain massive banks of panels spread over a wide geographical area so how can you be sure that every panel is performing at maximum efficiency to provide optimum energy capture? Deployment of ground staff to manually test and inspect each panel is both expensive and time consuming.  Plus a fault could well develop on an already inspected panel by the time it is reach for testing again. Under-performing or failed cells or panel areas can [...]
