Drones help developers survey the entire field and optimize the fitting of solar panels on a piece of land more quickly than in traditional ways. Different firms employ drones, robotics, software systems, and sensors to design and install solar farms.
Industrial robots have been used for various purposes in the manufacturing industry. In the last decade, digitally operated robots and drones have grown popular.
Nowadays, 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.
Regarding the utilization of drones and robots, the renewable energy sector is not far behind. Solar and wind farms provide many options for the employment of drones and robots. Several solutions are now in use worldwide, and others are being developed in the renewable energy sector. Robotics and drone advancements can enhance plant efficiency, lower overall costs, and shorten the time required to carry out numerous solar and wind farm activities.
Solar Plant Layout
Different firms employ drones, robotics, software systems, and sensors to design and install solar farms. Drones help developers survey the entire field and optimize the fitting of solar panels on a piece of land more quickly than in traditional ways. Moreover, it aids in optimizing solar farmland by enhancing its layout.
Detailed photographs of land collected by several drones can be employed to overlay blocks of inverters, solar panels, and other solar plant components. In addition, the software can be utilized to fit as many features into a layout as possible. For example, 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 kinds of robotic technologies for cleaning solar panels: dry cleaning robots and water cleaning robots. Dry cleaning robots are in high demand as they use little or no water to clean boards. Dry cleaning robots help save gallons of water that would otherwise be required to clean solar fields.
