How Sky Revolutions supports the energy industry

The energy industry depends on precision, safety, and real-time data to maintain efficient and reliable operations. At Sky Revolutions, we support this vital sector with drone-based surveys, thermal imaging, and setting out services that reduce risk, improve outcomes, and support the transition to sustainable energy.

Our expertise spans aerial surveying, setting out, and thermal inspections – making us a trusted partner for energy companies, engineers, and construction professionals across the UK.

Aerial surveys that drive smarter energy projects

We help our energy sector clients monitor progress, plan with confidence, and meet compliance standards. Using UAV technology and our experienced team of pilots, we provide site-wide visibility without disrupting operations.

We offer valuable services for:

• Wind turbine inspections
• Solar site/panel inspections
• Overhead powerline surveys
• Land surveys
• 360° panoramic image capture for tracking site progress

Precision setting out for complex energy sites

Sky Revolutions provides accurate and dependable setting out services for the energy industry across the UK.

We specialise in solar energy developments – working with energy companies and providers to mark out every key element on-site with precision. By identifying and resolving potential issues before work begins, our setting out services help reduce costly errors, mitigate delays, and protect your programme and budget.

This service helps to:

• Mark pile locations for solar panel foundations
• Trace trench routes for cabling and services
• Set out fencing, roadways, and infrastructure layouts
• Assist with site layout adjustments in response to topography
• Support accurate contractor handovers and phased builds

Thermal imaging for enhanced asset monitoring

Using advanced infrared technology, our thermal imaging surveys provide a non-invasive way to monitor energy infrastructure and detect potential faults before they escalate. From solar farms to overhead power lines, our inspections help energy companies spot early warning signs, improve efficiency, and avoid costly downtime.

Thermal imaging is ideal for:

• Detecting heat loss, insulation faults, and moisture infiltration
• Identifying hotspots or inefficiencies in solar panels
• Maintaining performance across large solar arrays
• Inspecting substations, transmission lines, and telecoms sites for overheating or energy loss
• Verifying electrical equipment health without needing physical contact

Our aerial thermal imaging systems fly pre-programmed routes to deliver accurate thermal maps. With the ability to fly lower and capture higher-resolution data than manned aircraft, our drones provide detailed imagery for fast, informed decision-making.

Supporting renewable energy expansion

Sky Revolutions actively supports the UK’s transition to renewable energy. We provide the insights developers and planners need to deliver solar, wind, and storage sites efficiently and responsibly.

Our services help stakeholders:

• Evaluate site conditions and terrain
• Assess layout and access optimisation
• Monitor construction progress
• Meet environmental and planning conditions
• Capture aerial visuals for stakeholder reporting

Whether you require a one-off renewable energy survey or ongoing monitoring, we provide the clarity and insight to keep your project moving.
