Drone-based solar panel inspection with defect tagging

IOT-01 · Original hackathon problem statement from Arventiq Labs

The problem

Manual inspection of large solar farms is slow, and hotspots go unnoticed.

What to build

Create a pipeline that processes thermal drone images, locates faulty panels and lists them for repair.

Success looks like

Defect detection precision above 85% on annotated images and a repair list mapped to panel positions.

Suggested technologies

  • Thermal imaging
  • Object detection
  • Georeferencing
  • Drone data pipelines
  • Reporting
