Industrial Inspection
Renewables
Sustainable energy asset integrity for wind turbines, solar PV fields, and hydroelectric dams — adapted to Africa's demanding conditions including harmattan dust and coastal exposure.
Maximising Yield from Africa's Clean Energy Assets
Renewable energy investment across Sub-Saharan Africa is accelerating rapidly. Wind farms, utility-scale solar PV parks, and hydroelectric dams form the backbone of the energy transition—yet maintaining their performance in demanding African environments requires specialised inspection capabilities.
AMEDRONES provides thermographic and visual drone inspection services for the full spectrum of renewable assets, helping operators detect defects early, reduce O&M costs, and protect long-term energy yield. From Sahel solar parks weathering harmattan dust to coastal wind farms exposed to salt spray, we bring the right tools and expertise to each operating environment.
Inspection Services
Wind Turbine Blade Analysis
Detailed close-up inspection of wind turbine blades using high-resolution cameras combined with thermal imaging to detect leading-edge erosion, delamination, lightning damage, and surface cracks. 3D photogrammetric models are produced per blade for defect trending.
Solar PV Thermographic Survey
Systematic radiometric thermal survey of entire utility-scale solar PV installations to identify underperforming strings, hot cells, bypass diode failures, and soiling patterns. Results are delivered as geo-referenced thermal orthomosaics with automated anomaly classification.
Cell Micro-Crack Detection
Electroluminescence-based imaging combined with aerial thermal analysis to identify micro-cracks, potential-induced degradation (PID), and snail trails at the cell level—enabling precise maintenance prioritisation before yield losses compound.
Dam Face Structural Monitoring
Photogrammetric and thermal inspection of hydroelectric dam faces to detect surface cracking, seepage patterns, spalling, and settlement. Change-detection analysis across repeat surveys supports long-term structural health monitoring programmes.
