In July 2025, Typhoon Danas struck Taiwan with devastating force, causing severe flooding and landslides. Many PV systems in the southern region also suffered significant damage, rekindling public concern over the safety and risk management of photovoltaic facilities across the country.

In response to this situation, both domestic and international insurance companies have long recognized the potential risks associated with PV systems and have actively adopted thermal aerial inspection technology. This technique enables rapid and comprehensive inspections of key components such as solar panels. By utilizing intelligent image recognition systems, it can automatically pinpoint image coordinates and detect temperature anomalies, helping operators identify potential defects at an early stage effectively reducing accident rates and improving overall power generation efficiency.

IRUAV Technology, which specializes in this field, is leading the industry by launching IRUAV APP, which combines thermal image aerial photography, AI intelligent analysis and cloud vision system, and its innovative technology has been highly recognized by domestic and foreign insurance companies. With the increase in the number of application cases, more and more Taiwanese customers are incorporating this technology into the risk prevention and damage identification process of solar assets. As the industry moves from the "construction phase" to the "maintenance phase" that focuses on efficiency and reliability, coupled with the labor challenges posed by an aging and decreasing population, data-driven Smart O&M tools will become the standard of the future.
