The New Age Solar-Powered Drone - SolarXOne For Better Farming

The advanced modification of technology has helped people around the globe to increase their economic status and improve their productivity. Until 2013 these Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were only a part of the defense system, but with the passage of time, they have been manufactured by small private companies or large - tech companies who have shifted themselves to this new ongoing market.

XSun is an aviation company that has built solar-powered drones which have provided huge benefits, especially to the agriculture sector. A solar-powered drone is a self-propelled artificial technology well-built with solar panels able to remain airborne for long durations. They are autonomous technology that can make their own decision and are able to give detailed information on the regions monitored.

 They have tender wing designs that provide good flight with excellent aerodynamic performance. These wings are spacious enabling them to collect more renewable energy acquired from the sun. Thus, these drones are a good option for adoption as they are sustainable and prevent environmental pollution.

FEATURES

• This UAV weighs 25 Kg with a wingspan measurement of 450  m

• They have a high-performance rate, ready for their flight within 30 mins.

• They are easy to operate and have high performance. 

• They have 12 hr range of non-stop flights and create very less nuisance.

• They have good backup systems and are highly reliable.

• As they can be mechanically operated therefore they require very less care.

APPLICATIONS

This technology can cover a vast range of distances of over 600 Km, thus can produce good image resolution.

Following are their applications:- 

• They can easily cover huge acres of land used for mapping and topography. They can provide detailed information about forests or natural reserves.

• They provide high-resolution photographic surveys on large scale.

• They play an essential role in precision farming and provide accurate information for precise management on farm sites.

• Through this easy weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and mapping can be done.

• They can also monitor and inspect any land areas and thus can convert the infertile soil to cultivable land.

Therefore Drone technology if used wisely and smartly can easily change the dimension of farming. Moreover, farmers can easily boost their economy and prevent any kind of a waste of farm resources.
