Renewables Protecting wind solar and hydro asset lifespans

Protecting wind, solar and
hydro asset lifespans

Wind turbines and solar farms operate in harsh environments where blades erode, composites crack, and panels degrade under heat and dust. Left unchecked, minor faults escalate into costly failures. Regular drone-based inspections provide high-resolution visual and thermal data that help operators validate warranties, plan maintenance, and safeguard long-term output.

WIND

Capturing ultra-high-res visual and thermal data

Giving blades the attention they deserve.

Blades are where revenue is won or lost. Even sub-millimeter erosion can drain Annual Energy Production, while undetected cracks risk catastrophic failure. However, traditional rope access methods are slow, costly, and hazardous. 

Cyberhawk replaces traditional inspection methods with drone-based inspections that capture ultra-high-resolution visual and thermal data safely from the air. Every defect is logged, sized, and categorized against OEM standards in iHawk, our aerial data management platform. Operators gain a single source of truth to plan repairs, protect warranty claims, and manage fleets at scale. The result: maximum safety, minimized downtime, and peak performance across your portfolio.

SOLAR

Full array inspections to spot panel defects

Utility-scale solar farms demand fast, full-coverage diagnostics.

Manual ground checks miss defects and delay fault finding, while thermal anomalies silently erode yield. Cyberhawk’s drone-mounted thermal and visual inspections provide rapid, full-array detection of hotspots, string failures, and panel degradation. Findings are centralized in iHawk, our aerial data management platform, where operators can track panel health, monitor trends over time, and optimize maintenance planning. Instead of raw files, you get actionable intelligence — reducing operation and management costs, accelerating interventions, and ensuring stronger, more reliable generation from every panel.

HYDRO

Inspect hard-to-reach structures quickly and safely

Hydroelectric infrastructure endures constant mechanical and environmental stress — from turbine cavitation to dam face cracking.

Inspections traditionally demand scaffolding, rope access, or outages, increasing risk and cost. Cyberhawk delivers a safer, faster alternative with drone-based inspections that capture ultra-high-resolution imagery across hard-to-reach assets. All results flow into iHawk, our aerial data management platform, creating a transparent record of inspections, defect tracking, and status closure. That insight allows operators to safeguard compliance, extend asset life, and maintain the reliability of a critical renewable resources without compromising safety or uptime.

Accelerated Understanding

Complex data, clear decisions with iHawk

iHawk, Cyberhawk's aerial data management platform, gives you more from your renewables inspections, faster. Forget data sorting, file renaming, and awkward sharing. In iHawk, your teams have the information they need at their fingertips, from anywhere in the world.

Capital Projects

Construction timelines don't pause for surveys. Cyberhawk delivers survey-grade aerial mapping, photogrammetry, and as-built verification at the speed projects demand. Capture entire sites in hours, not weeks. Generate accurate 3D models that reveal progress gaps, resource conflicts, and safety issues before they cost time or money. 

From earthworks to final handover, our aerial intelligence keeps every stakeholder working from the same reality. No surprises. No delays. Just complete situational awareness that turns data into decisions and keeps critical infrastructure projects moving forward.

Oil, Gas and Marine

Asset integrity in extreme environments isn't negotiable. Traditional inspections mean rope access, scaffolding, confined spaces — serious risk for limited data. Shutdowns cost millions per day. Critical corrosion hides until failure. Cyberhawk eliminates the trade-offs. 

We inspect flare stacks, pressure vessels, pipelines, and offshore platforms without putting anyone in danger or taking assets offline. Expert engineers analyze every detail. iHawk turns findings into actionable intelligence. Shift from reactive to predictive maintenance. That's how operators protect people, assets, and production simultaneously.

Power Generation

Every turbine, stack, and pressure system tells a story — subtle signs of wear, stress, and emerging faults that, if missed, can halt production, trigger unplanned outages, or compromise safety. Cyberhawk’s drones capture complete, high-fidelity aerial and thermal imagery across your plant, revealing hidden anomalies and early-stage degradation.

iHawk, our aerial data management platform, turns that data into a single, actionable view, letting you track changes over time, prioritize interventions, and plan outages with confidence — keeping personnel safe and extending the life of critical assets.

Power Grid and Utilities

Miles of lines. Thousands of towers. A single fault can ripple across entire communities. Vegetation encroachment, heat anomalies, and weather damage all threaten reliable supply, and traditional inspection methods are too slow to keep up. 

Cyberhawk transforms how you monitor and protect the grid. Our pilots capture detailed aerial inspection data, while iHawk, our data management platform, consolidates it into precise, actionable insights. Track degradation over time, detect high-risk defects, mitigate wildfire triggers, and respond to storm damage faster — all without putting crews at risk or slowing operations.
