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.

Focusing on this field, IRUAV Technology has taken a leading role in the industry by launching the IRUAV APP, which integrates thermal drone inspections, AI-powered analysis, and a cloud-based visualization system. Its innovative technology has received strong recognition from both domestic and international insurance companies. As more applications and use cases emerge, an increasing number of Taiwanese clients have incorporated this technology into the risk prevention and damage assessment processes for their solar assets. As the solar industry gradually transitions from the “construction phase” to the “operation and maintenance (O&M) phase”, where efficiency and reliability become the core priorities, and with additional labor challenges brought by an aging population and declining birthrate, data-driven intelligent O&M tools (Smart Solar O&M) are expected to become the industry standard in the future.
