Project Details

Project ID: TS02020034

Programme: THÉTA 2 System for automated monitoring and maintenance of solar parks employing artificial intelligence and unmanned aerial platforms.

Time Period: 07/2025 – 6/2028

Project Description

The project aims to develop an innovative system for autonomous monitoring and diagnosis of photovoltaic power plants (PvPP) using artificial intelligence and drone technologies. This includes the development of an autonomous aerial drone for thermographic and visual inspections, AI-driven software for condition monitoring and diagnostics, and an aerial drone for cleaning Pv panels. These components will create an integrated, cyber-secure system that automates maintenance processes, enabling early fault detection in both distributed PvPPs and solar farms. The system will reduce failure risks and improve planning for long-term operation and maintenance, contributing to Industry 4.0 and enhancing the EU’s competitiveness in the field of autonomous drone inspection and diagnostics.
