I think that you are wasting your time here Kimi kong. I doubt that there is anyone here that has Mega-Watts of solar panels.

I heard about somebody that was inspecting his solar panels using a chinese quadcopter. The quadcopter malfunctioned and fell on top of his solar panels and busted 3 panels. Then it fell from the roof and almost killed him on the ground.

After that, he wiped the bird poop from his panels himself. But not before he wiped the poop from himself. I guess that quadcopter experience scared the crap out of him.

Hi, Kimi xiong,

I believe you are linked with this Drone company?

We here use a small drone here for checking the fields and animals, sheep/cows stuck in hedges/streams etc,  as we have undulating land and steep valleys, with lots of trees and big hedges.

We particular like the .......... Hubsan 0.41Kg in total weight.
Hubsan H501S H501SS X4 Pro 5.8G FPV Brushless Avec 1080 P HD Caméra GPS RTF Suivre Me Mode Quadcopter Hélicoptère RC Drone .........

 I use Alliexpress .. ...

Why? because its small compact has a range of 3 to 4 miles, auto returns if signal lost, 20 minutes of flying time, has a excellent good LCD screen, good stable flight ..... and importantly its under $300.

My 14 year old fly's, as it has a multitude of mode operations, far to complicated for this old duffer.

Personally a small spotter drone is excellent for Solar arrays, and has little chance of breaking PV panels, we have experimented with the Hubsan.
