What We do
What Is Drone Inspection?
A Safer, Smarter Way to Monitor Rooftop and Solar Health
Rooftop and solar drone inspection is a fully aerial service designed for commercial and industrial asset owners. It uses high-resolution imaging and thermal technology to assess the condition of roofing systems and solar installations—without any rooftop access.
- Detect hidden subsurface failures—years before they escalate
- Quantify thermal loss, water intrusion, and insulation degradation
- Pinpoint underperforming solar modules or hotspots across large PV arrays
- Reduce capital waste by targeting only damaged zones
- iGenerate asset-level reports compatible with Maximo and other CMMS platforms
- Align roof and solar asset integrity with ESG and decarbonization targets
All inspections are conducted fully from the air, using specialized drone payloads and predictive workflows, capable of scanning up to 2 million square feet per day.
Precision, Safety, and Predictive Insight
Why Use Drone Inspection
- I3–5 years of early defect detection across roof and solar assets
- INo rooftop access required—maximizing safety and minimizing disruptions
- IDusk-optimized thermal imaging to reveal faults invisible during the day
- IAuto-categorized, geo-tagged reports for streamlined asset planning
- IAutomated workflows that support long-term maintenance and ESG compliance

DCI & ACI Systems Installations
NAES Power Contractors (NPC) installed a new Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) system and an Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) system at a major coal-fired generating station owned by a cooperative in the Midwest as part of a regional air-quality project. The project supported the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) new Mercury…
Air Preheater Rebuild
NAES Power Contractors (NPC) rebuilt an Alstom air preheater at an 850 MW coal-fired plant. NPC worked around the clock for three weeks to expedite the unit’s return to service. The team built temporary shelters to keep the major weather from impeding the work and coordinated with client representatives for…
Conemaugh ESP Rebuild
NAES Power Contractors (NPC) had responsibility for site management, craft labor and directing subcontractors for this $31 million-plus project at the 1,800 MW Conemaugh Generating Station. NPC s upplied and installed new electrostatic precipitator (ESP) internals for Units 1 and 2 (four boxes total) during two power outages.
Colstrip Power Plant
NAES Power Contractors has provided ongoing maintenance, modification and construction at the 2,218 MW Colstrip facility since 1988, including services during normal operating periods, scheduled outages and unscheduled outages. NPC provided the same services at the 154 MW Corette facility from 1988 until its closure in 2015.
