Because photovoltaic (PV) plants require periodic maintenance, using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for inspections can help reduce costs. Usually, the thermal and visual inspection of PV installations works as follows.
Abstract: This article addresses the design of a fully automated photovoltaic (PV) power plant inspection process by a fleet of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles (UAVs/UGVs).
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been recently proposed for PV inspections. In past decades, research made significant steps forward concerning the development of UAVs for monitoring applications, including the inspection of power transmission lines [ 10 ], gas and oil pipelines [ 11 ], precision agriculture [ 12 ], and bridges [ 13 ].
The autonomous inspection of PV plants through UAV photogrammetry has been explored in the literature [ 14, 15, 29, 30 ]. The UAV is given a set of waypoints, usually arranged in such a way as to cover a delimited area to ensure the required horizontal and vertical overlapping of images.
