Brief

Sunline needed a single, clean ortho of every panel block on the site — geo-tagged, high-resolution, suitable for handing to any third-party inspector going forward.

Approach

RTK-anchored grid flight across two consecutive days. Same altitude, same overlap, same time-of-day window for consistent shadow conditions.

Outcome

Single seamless orthomosaic at 1.2cm/pixel ground resolution. The first inspection cycle ran on top of it within a week of delivery.
