Drone aerial thermal imaging in Grasse
Heating in Grasse is expensive: harsh winters make aerial thermography especially telling — roof heat loss, thermal bridges and tired insulation stand out clearly on radiometric images. With 50,396 inhabitants, Grasse generates steady demand in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
The economy blends the flavour and fragrance industry (Robertet, Mane nearby), tourism and high-end residential property. Sought-after drone services: films for perfume houses and flower growers, prestige real estate with sea views, construction monitoring in complex hillside urbanism, and imagery of the Grasse countryside out to the Gorges du Loup. World capital of perfume — its know-how is inscribed on UNESCO's intangible heritage list — Grasse terraces its medieval old town at 350 metres altitude, between historic factories (Fragonard, Molinard, Galimard), fields of May roses and jasmine, and panoramas plunging towards the bay of Cannes.

The airspace context in Grasse
Thermographic flights in Grasse happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Proximité de la CTR de Cannes-Mandelieu) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

How much solar capacity can be inspected in one day?
An automated flight covers 10 to 20 MWp per day depending on the plant layout, with automatic hot-spot detection and each faulty module located by its coordinates.
