01 MEASURE.COM Introduction UAV technologies provide operational efficiency gains to solar asset management. To quantify these gains, Measure compared time, costs, and results of its 100% IR drone inspections to relevant manual inspection scenarios across four sites. These comparisons yielded the following results: Drones Increased Efficiency by 97% Drones Saved an Average of $1254/MW Test Site Descriptions SITE 1: Preventative maintenance of 74MW in Sunrall, MS Comparison: Clamp Testing with 20% IV Curve Tracing Testing SITE 2: Preventative maintenance of 30MW in Spargue, CT Comparison: Voc/Isc Testing at the Combiner Box with Visual Inspection SITE 3: System Commissioning for 21MW in Rincon, GA Comparison: 100% handheld IR scanning with 15% IV Curve Tracing Testing SITE 4: Sy
