According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Photovoltaic Drone Inspection Services market size was valued at US$ 1465 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 5709 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 22.0% during review period.
Photovoltaic drone inspection service refers to the use of industrial-grade drones equipped with visible light, infrared thermal imaging, and AI image recognition systems to conduct fully automated aerial inspections of centralized, distributed, or rooftop photovoltaic power stations. It collects real-time data on defects such as hot spots, microcracks, dust, and shading on modules, automatically generating defect location maps and maintenance work orders in the cloud. This helps power stations achieve intelligent operation and maintenance outsourcing services that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and create a closed-loop system.
In 2025, the gross profit margin of mainstream service providers in the market was 28%–35%, higher than that of oil and gas but slightly lower than that of the power grid. This is mainly due to the high maturity of photovoltaic module defect identification algorithms, simple airspace approval, and intense price competition among customers who are sensitive to "increased power generation."
