Drones assist developers in surveying the entire field as well as optimizing the fitting of solar panels on a piece of land more quickly than traditional ways. Various firms employ drones, robotics, software systems, and sensors to design and install solar farms.
FREMONT, CA: In the manufacturing industry, industrial robots have been employed for a wide range of purposes. In the recent decade, digitally operated robots and drones have grown in popularity.
These days, robots and AI are used together or separately in a variety of sectors, including automotive for self-driving cars, manufacturing industries as welding robots, the health care sector to perform surgeries, the commercial sector and offices for security and cleaning, as well as areas where human operations, such as nuclear clean-up, are not possible.
In terms of the utilization of drones and robots, the renewable energy sector is not far behind. Solar and wind farms provide numerous options for the employment of drones and robots. Several solutions are now in use around the world, and others are being developed in the renewable energy sector. Robotics and drone advancements can assist enhance plant efficiency, lower overall costs, and shorten the time required to carry out numerous activities across solar and wind farms.
Solar Plant Layout
Various firms employ drones, robotics, software systems, and sensors to design and install solar farms. Drones assist developers in surveying the entire field as well as optimizing the fitting of solar panels on a piece of land more quickly than traditional ways. It aids in the optimization of solar farmland by enhancing layout.
Detailed photographs of land collected by a number of drones can be used to overlay blocks of inverters, solar panels, and other solar plant components. The software can be used to fit as many components into a layout as possible. The software may examine and consider factors such as transmission line layout, a shadow from a neighboring structure, terrain slope, and so on when deciding on a configuration.
Cleaning Robots
There are two types of robotic technologies for cleaning solar panels: dry cleaning robots and water cleaning robots. Dry cleaning robots are in high demand since they use little or no water to clean panels. Dry cleaning robots help to save gallons of water that would otherwise be required for cleaning in solar fields.
