The Biden administration’s Solar Futures Study calls for 45% of the U.S. electricity supply to come from solar by 2050. That means bigger (and more efficient) solar farms — a massive opportunity for companies that inspect and optimize utility-scale arrays.
Mark Culpepper, general manager of solar solutions for DroneBase, a renewable energy asset ariel imaging firm, foresees significant growth in demand for monitoring at scale to follow federal ambitions.
DroneBase specializes in manned and unmanned ariel analysis of solar photovoltaic arrays using thermal imagining by identifying performance loss in modules that overheat. The company’s platform then prioritizes fixes that offer the highest return for the asset owner before dispatching crews.
