Solar and Broad Acre Vegetation Monitoring Estimator

Use your sensor and drone to estimate flight altitude, coverage, mission time, and both pilot and analytics costs for vegetation mapping across broad acres and within solar farms. Generates a print-ready report. The analysis evaluates the data collection and processing. Transportation and other ancillary costs are not considered. Flight planning uses square/rectangular flight boundaries. Non-standard boundaries may require additional time or image collection

Accurate inputs. Honest Outputs. No Hype.
