Problem
Utility-scale energy operators often rely on manual inspections or low-resolution imaging to detect faults in solar panels, wind turbine blades, and critical infrastructure, leading to delayed maintenance, increased downtime, and higher operational costs.
Solution
Indavian uses DJI Mavic drones flown by experienced pilots to capture high-resolution thermal and RGB imagery of energy assets. Proprietary neural‑network analytics process the data in real time, identifying hotspots, cell cracks, soiling, blade erosion, surface cracks, and other defects with up to 97% confidence. Detected issues are classified by severity and delivered instantly to operators, enabling rapid maintenance decisions. The platform also supports continuous perimeter surveillance, providing edge AI detection of intrusions and other security threats. By automating fault detection, Indavian reduces inspection time, minimizes downtime, and streamlines maintenance workflows for large‑scale solar farms and wind installations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of utility‑scale solar farms, wind turbine owners, and managers of critical infrastructure who require fast, accurate aerial inspections and continuous security monitoring.
