Market-Leading Solar Panel Serial Number Capture
Manually collecting solar panel serial numbers for warranty claims or insurance is slow, expensive, and prone to errors. Futurewise Aerial provides the UK’s market-leading drone serial number capture service, delivering fast, precise, and verifiable panel-level data to asset managers, owners, and operators.
Our unique strength lies in our proprietary data processing scripts and state-of-the-art aerial cameras. This combination allows us to achieve 8x faster data collection compared to traditional manual methods, transforming your asset verification process from a costly problem into a strategic advantage.
The Essential Tool for Solar Warranty & Insurance Claims
Serial number verification is the cornerstone of effective solar asset management. It is the most reliable method for processing warranty claims and validating insurance. Without accurate, granular data, asset managers risk significant financial loss and operational downtime.
Our service provides the indisputable, panel-level proof you need to:
- Validate and process manufacturer warranty claims efficiently.
- Secure and verify insurance coverage for your solar farm.
- Reduce financial risk by creating a definitive asset registry.
- Avoid costly, time-consuming manual checks.
Our Technology: 8x Faster, Unmatched Accuracy
Our competitive advantage comes from technology we built ourselves. We don’t use off-the-shelf software; we use proprietary in-house scripts to process our aerial data, ensuring high accuracy.
Combined with specialist, ultra high-resolution cameras (such as the Phase One iXM series), we capture granular, panel-level detail that competitors simply cannot see. This system is the key to our speed and efficiency, delivering results in a fraction of the time.
