UAV Solar Survey Services — Advanced Aerial Solutions for Renewable Energy Projects in Japan

Over 500+MW surveyed nationwide. Trusted by developers, investors, and asset owners.

At Sunpulse, we combine drone (UAV) technology, multi-spectral automated flights with solar intelligence to deliver high-resolution aerial data for every stage of your project — from pre-development to O&M and performance optimization.

 

 Key Services:

 

Infrared Thermal Imaging

We are pioneers in FLIR drone inspections for PV plants in Japan. Our IR-enabled UAVs detect hotspots, microcracks, and performance anomalies with real-time imaging and post-flight reporting to reduce downtime and revenue loss. Flight plans are done in an automated way, pre-simulated and checked in both visual and infra-red to reduce flight risks.

 

Construction Progress Monitoring (CPM)

Monitor build-out with photo and video documentation. Track timelines, verify EPC progress, and ensure transparency with repeatable site scans.

 

Pre-Development & 3D Mapping

Use our UAVs to collect point clouds, 3D meshes, and GeoTIFFs. We support terrain modeling, yield simulation, and topographic basemaps — optimized for projects up to 10MWp.

 

Completed Plant Documentation

Capture HD photos and videos for use in investor reporting, O&M audits, or marketing materials. We also offer promotional video editing for your site.

 

 Deliverables:

 

  • High-res visible & infrared imagery
  • DXF, DWG, shapefile, GeoTIFF, XYZ point cloud, Infra-red radiometric photo, Visual Photo.
  • 3D digital twins for shading and performance analysis
  • Volumetric & elevation data
  • Customized promo video editing

 

 Industry-Leading Innovation:

 

Next-Generation 3D Modeling

We integrate near-field UAV data with far-horizon terrain scans to generate the most accurate shading simulations in the solar design industry. Ideal for mountainous and complex terrains.
