How to Build a Solar
Drone Program
Solar will be the leading energy source of the 21st century; however, the industry still uses 19th century tools. As a result, we believe that the site surveying process is broken. Building a drone program is the best way to transform your workflow.
Scanifly has trained thousands of solar professionals in over 85 countries on using drones for solar survey and design, including through coursework from NABCEP, SEI, Heatspring, and others. This handbook is intended to be an exhaustive step-by-step guide for building a solar drone program. Topics include:
Licensing and the FAA Part 107
Responsibilities of a drone program administrator
How to fly drones for different use cases
Understanding airspace, weather conditions, and safety parameters
Rolling out the program across local, regional, and national teams

What People are Saying
“Scanifly is a truly unique and valuable tool in our solar tool belt that lets us design in a way that was previously not possible. The look on customers faces when they see their house modeled with solar panels is absolutely priceless.”

“When we started using Scanifly, our team more than doubled the number of assessments we could do in a
day. Now, we’re at 6-7 per day where before we could only get 2-3.”
