The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has provided a waiver to vHive to use autonomous software-operated multi-drone surveys for utility-scale solar farm inspections in the US.
This approval permits vHive to provide software to automatically control multiple drones operating simultaneously on a single task. The company says that the ability to perform simultaneous flights enables uniform data capture under consistent sunlight conditions, providing higher-quality insights. It enables operators to perform frequent inspections to detect power loss and anomalies early.
Designed to accommodate solar farms of any scale, vHive’s system integrates autonomous drone technology with AI-powered analytics to deliver actionable insights. The Digital Twin platform provides both an overview and a detailed analysis of power anomalies and their impact, helping operators prioritise repairs and minimise downtime.
