PV planning from drone imagery

Drone images in. Plan-ready PV data out.

We turn roof and ground-mount drone captures into usable data for PV*SOL, Eturnity, PVcase, and downstream technical workflows. No raw-data overload, just a handoff your planning team can actually use.

What this page is actually selling

Input

Drone imagery

Existing captures or flights based on our checklist.

Processing

3D + conversion

Photogrammetry, quality review, and Blender-based preparation.

Result

Plan-ready PV data

Models, orthodata, and handoffs matched to your target system.

PV solutions

Built for real PV workflows

The same core pipeline produces different outputs depending on how your planning team needs to keep moving.

PV*SOL roof model

When drone imagery needs to become an import-ready 3D model for roof planning, shading, and layout work.

  • 3D model prepared for PV*SOL workflows
  • Clean data base for roof projects
  • Fast handoff for planning teams

Eturnity workflow

For teams that need a workable model for consulting, monitoring, or offer-driven sales processes.

  • Model preparation for Eturnity-based workflows
  • Viewer plus technical handoff when needed
  • Fits fast sales and planning cycles

PVcase ground mount

For ground-mount projects where elevation, grid points, and topographic foundations matter most.

  • Topographic basis for ground-mount planning
  • Grid points and line data depending on dataset
  • Matched to the next planning step

Orthophoto & site baseline

When you also need a georeferenced 2D foundation for surveying, documentation, or project alignment.

  • Orthophoto for SPT or coordination
  • Georeferenced project base
  • Useful for review and project communication
Workflow tracks

Roof or ground-mount: same core, different output

We do not split the offer into fake industries. We split it by the downstream workflow your data must support after delivery.

Roof workflows

For solar installers, planning offices, and sales teams that need reliable planning data on buildings fast.

  • PV*SOL-ready 3D models
  • Eturnity-oriented model preparation
  • Viewer links for internal and external approvals
  • Optional georeferenced 2D base where useful

Ground-mount workflows

For utility-scale projects where topography, orthodata, and clean handoff into PVcase or downstream planning are critical.

  • PVcase-oriented data base
  • Grid points, contour logic, or orthophoto depending on scope
  • Suitable for larger sites and technical alignment
  • Clear package structure for downstream teams
Process

How a PV project moves through the pipeline

This page should not just sound good. It should make the delivery process obvious before the first project starts.

01

1. Align on dataset and target software

We first verify whether your project targets PV*SOL, Eturnity, PVcase, or another handoff and whether the captures support that outcome.

02

2. Process imagery and build the data base

Your drone images are reconstructed into the technical base. After that, the project is cleaned up, trimmed, and converted for the use case.

03

3. Manual quality review

We do not pass along unchecked raw files. Before delivery, we review whether the dataset and the output fit the agreed target.

04

4. Handoff for the next workflow

You receive the package in the form your team actually needs: viewer, model, orthodata, or technical documentation files.

Software & handoff

Typical outputs and handoffs

Not every project needs the same package. These are the most common delivery shapes requested by PV teams.

No fake claims: the exact handoff depends on dataset quality, drone setup, and the agreed target system.

PV*SOL
Eturnity
PVcase
Orthophoto
AutoCAD
Viewer

Viewer & review

For fast alignment with sales, clients, or planning without local specialist software.

  • Web viewer link
  • Measurement and review basis
  • Shareable with internal and external stakeholders

PV model for target software

When the result must move straight into planning instead of just being viewed.

  • Prepared for PV*SOL or Eturnity
  • Aligned with the agreed workflow
  • Clean structure instead of raw-data folders

Topography & orthodata

For ground-mount planning, site baselines, and technical documentation around the PV project.

  • Georeferenced orthophoto
  • Grid points and elevation information depending on scope
  • Usable for downstream planning and technical review
FAQ

Frequently asked questions about PV planning

Do you only support roof systems or also ground-mount projects?

Both. Roof workflows usually target PV*SOL, Eturnity, or viewer outputs. Ground-mount workflows more often target PVcase, orthophotos, and topographic foundations.

Do I need a specific drone?

Not always. Good consumer or enterprise drones are often enough for viewer and simpler roof workflows. RTK setups are recommended when higher accuracy or larger ground-mount sites are involved.

Will I get raw data or a finished result?

The positioning of this page is explicit: you should not drown in raw data. The focus is a plan-ready handoff for your target system. The exact package is defined up front.

How fast is delivery?

Viewer outputs and simpler PV models can be delivered from 24 hours depending on the dataset. More complex CAD, ground-mount, or documentation packages take longer.

If PV planning should not get stuck on raw data

Send the dataset or describe the target workflow. We will tell you clearly which output is realistic and what the handoff should look like.
