Commercial solar inspections.
A clearer view.
Visual inspections, thermal imaging and mapping for commercial solar PV across Scotland.
Give your maintenance team useful evidence: array overviews, thermal patterns and clear location references. We also provide roof surveys, construction monitoring and aerial photography.
See the example observation →Project imagery from Renew-Able. Thermal patterns need visual and operating context.

From a clear brief to useful imagery.
01 / TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
Start with the site.
Send the location, what you need to capture and how you plan to use the images or data.
02 / AGREE THE DETAILS
Plan the right approach.
We discuss coverage, outputs and timing, with access and flight feasibility considered before booking.
03 / CAPTURE & REVIEW
Put your imagery to work.
The work follows your agreed brief and suitable conditions. Deliverables and timing are set out in the quotation.
Scottish properties & projects
Local understanding.
A wider perspective.
From Edinburgh and East Lothian to projects elsewhere in Scotland, tell us where you need us and what you want to achieve.
A property shoot, roof inspection and mapping project each need a different approach. We start with your objective, then agree the capture and outputs that make sense for your site.

A few useful answers.
What do I need to send for a quote?
Send the site address or postcode, the service you need, the area or asset to cover and your preferred timescale. Existing photographs and a short description of the purpose help define the brief.
Can a drone inspect my roof without scaffolding?
A drone can capture visible roof areas from the air when site conditions allow. Suitability depends on the location, access, surroundings and inspection brief. Some defects still need close physical investigation.
What will I receive?
Outputs are agreed in the quotation. Depending on the service, these may include edited photographs, video, annotated inspection images, thermal imagery, maps or a 3D model.
Can you guarantee a flight on a particular day?
Weather, airspace restrictions and access can affect whether a flight can proceed. Thermal work may also need specific capture conditions. These considerations form part of planning your project.
Do you work outside Edinburgh?
Enquiries are welcome from East Lothian and across Scotland. Send the project location so travel and site requirements can be considered in the quote.
