Digital Inspection of Solar Systems: A New Standard for ESG
Renewable energy companies around the world are accelerating their efforts to incorporate drone thermal inspection into their ESG management processes as a key element in improving the reliability and sustainability of their energy assets. International leaders such as NextEra Energy, ENGIE, Enel Green Power, Iberdrola, Brookfield, etc. have revealed the effectiveness of drone thermal inspections in their annual sustainability reports, including regular annual thermal inspections, identification of hot spots and inverter anomalies, and reduction of energy losses and risk of equipment accidents. This highlights the global trend of using technology to enhance energy efficiency and improve the quality of power plant management.
The IRUAV PLATFORM integrates drone inspections, AI-based thermal analysis, and cloud-based visualization into a unified architecture, creating an auditable, traceable, and standardized digital management system for solar assets. It enables companies to clearly present the performance of their renewable-energy assets in ESG disclosures. The platform generates health indicators, defect distribution maps, maintenance recommendations, and maintenance records, which not only quantify improvements in equipment reliability but also demonstrate measurable reductions in risk and enhancements in operational transparency.
With IRUAV PLATFORM, companies are able to present the results of "continuous improvement" of their solar systems in a more data-driven, real-time and comparable manner, clearly supporting their commitment to sustainability in terms of (E) environmental efficiency, (S) operational safety and occupational safety risk control, and (G) governance transparency and information disclosure, and further enhancing their credibility and communication with investors, insurers and stakeholders.
