Flight guidelines for inspecting solar farms with a DJI M3T.

Description: The M3T is a solar industry work horse equipped with multiple cameras including a wide-angle RGB, zoom, and 640x512 radiometric thermal camera. The portability and versatility of this aircraft makes it a prime candidate for solar inspections.

Improvements: The M3T has an interval capture rate of 0.7 seconds which allows faster capture speeds and shorter mission times compared to its predecessors (DJI M30T, M300, and M350).

  • Cameras:

    • Wide RGB (½’ CMOS 48MP)

    • Zoom Camera (up to 56x hybrid zoom)

    • Thermal Camera: 640x512 px, radiometric

  • Capture Speed:

    • 0.7 seconds interval capture

  • Flight Planning Software:

    • DJI Pilot 2 (Built in)
