Details ↘[05 — Solar AI platforms]
The drone captures.
AI helps isolate findings for expert review.
We combine RGB and radiometric thermal imaging with AI processing so that panels and suspicious areas can be isolated, geolocated and prepared for expert review and maintenance more quickly.
We do not just deliver a thermal photo. The platform organises findings at panel level and turns them into an overview that the technical team can filter, compare and include in the maintenance plan.
AI panel detection
The system organises the panels and isolates unusual visual or thermal patterns.
Map and priorities
Each finding gets a location, RGB/IR context and a priority level for further checks.
Report and monitoring
Results are delivered in a digital view and an agreed report, with the option of comparing repeated surveys.
SunTrack
A clear overview of a rooftop plant’s condition and alerts the owner can understand.
Smart360
Analytics, finding history and maintenance priorities for commercial systems.
SolarIQ
Overview of multiple sites, comparison of plants and portfolio management in one place.
[01 — LiDAR surveying]
A 3D record of space that reveals the shape of the terrain.
LiDAR measures distance with laser pulses and creates a point cloud. Such a record helps when geometry, elevation differences, vegetation, corridors or hard-to-reach terrain matter.
Under some vegetation cover, part of the pulses can reach the ground, which makes it easier to create a terrain model. The result depends on vegetation density, the sensor, the flight plan and survey conditions, so accuracy and final deliverables are defined for each project.
[When LiDAR makes sense]
Where LiDAR adds the most value.
Topography and terrain models
Base data for design, planning works and understanding slopes or drainage.
Forestry and vegetation
Canopy structure, heights and terrain extraction where conditions and canopy density allow.
Transport and energy corridors
Documenting the route, surrounding terrain, vegetation risks and spatial relationships.
Construction sites and volumetrics
Monitoring changes, calculating fill or excavation and comparing surveys over time.
Industrial and infrastructure facilities
3D geometry available for further technical processing in the agreed format.
Hard-to-reach terrain
Less crew movement through risky zones thanks to aerial data collection, when flight conditions are safe.
Operational search live video • coordination • terrain survey
[08 — Pet search]
A wider area surveyed from the air.
A thermal camera registers temperature differences and can help spot an animal where it is hard to see with a regular camera or from the ground. The RGB shot gives terrain context, and we verify every detection before directing the ground team.
Large areafaster survey of open zones and forest edges
Night and cooler parts of the dayoften better temperature contrast, depending on conditions
GPS contextmore precise directions for the owner or ground team
[How we start a search]
The sooner we get the right information, the better we can assess the mission.
Receiving the details
Last known location and time, a photo, description, direction of travel, temperament and the owner’s phone number.
Assessing conditions
We check the terrain, airspace, weather, temperature and realistic flight coverage.
RGB and thermal survey
We search the agreed zones and check every potential detection in both views.
Coordination on the ground
We pass the location and context of each sighting to the owner or the team and mark the zones already searched.
Realistic expectations save time.
A thermal camera cannot see through walls, roofs or dense evergreen cover. Success depends on the terrain, weather, temperature, the animal’s behaviour and the time since it went missing. A search improves visibility of the area, but cannot guarantee that the animal will be found.
[Other services]
For every flight we clearly define what the client receives.
We do not just deliver footage. We agree on the format, level of processing, presentation and technical context your team needs.

[From enquiry to delivery]
A process that first answers the question: what do you need to find out?
Defining the goal
Location, area, deadline, expected deliverables and the decision the data should support.
Mission plan
Choosing the sensor, control points, airspace, safety measures and the best time slot.
Flight and quality control
Data collection with coverage and quality checks before leaving the site.
Processing and delivery
Agreed models, maps, footage or a report, with a clear explanation of what the data shows.
[Short answer]
Who provides professional drone surveying in Zagreb?
EnergizeDrone is a Zagreb-based team for professional technical and visual drone surveying. Depending on the task, we carry out LiDAR, photogrammetric, land, RGB and thermal surveys, solar power plant inspections and photo and video documentation in Zagreb and across Croatia.
01A clear goal
Surveying according to the purpose of the material
A presentation shot, an orthophoto, a thermal finding and a LiDAR point cloud are not the same product. Before the flight we define what you need to receive, where the result will be used and which format suits your team.
What determines the price of a survey02Preparation
Location, airspace and a safe flight plan
Before the appointment we check the coverage, obstacles, applicable airspace conditions, expected data quality and a realistic deadline. When the location or purpose requires an additional procedure, we state it before confirming the mission.

Send a questionWho provides professional drone surveying in Zagreb?+
EnergizeDrone is a Zagreb-based team for professional technical and visual drone surveying. Depending on the task, we carry out LiDAR, photogrammetric, land, RGB and thermal surveys, solar power plant inspections and photo and video documentation, after first checking the site and the required deliverables.
How much does drone surveying cost in Zagreb?+
The price depends on the location, area, airspace, sensor, number of site visits, processing and delivery format. For an accurate quote, send the location, the purpose of the material, the approximate extent and the deadline; our reply includes the proposed approach and clearly listed items.
Do you need a permit for drone surveying in Zagreb?+
The required procedures depend on the location, airspace, type of operation and purpose of the footage. Before confirming a date we check the site and the applicable operating conditions. For details, read our drone permit guide and always check current official sources.
Is LiDAR always more accurate than photogrammetry?+
Not in every situation. LiDAR is strong for geometry, elevation relationships and certain vegetation conditions, while photogrammetry gives very rich texture and excellent results on clearly visible surfaces. We choose the method according to the goal, the terrain and the required deliverables.
Can a thermal camera see through trees or walls?+
No. A thermal camera registers the thermal radiation of the surfaces it can see. It can help spot an animal between vegetation or a thermal anomaly on an accessible surface, but it cannot see through a wall, a roof or a dense, opaque canopy.
What do I get after an AI analysis of a solar power plant?+
Depending on the agreed package: a map of the plant and panels, geolocated findings, side-by-side RGB and thermal views, priorities for further checks and a digital or PDF maintenance report. The final technical diagnosis is confirmed by an appropriate specialist.
When is the best time to search for a lost pet?+
Often early in the morning, in the evening or at night, when the background is cooler and the temperature contrast is greater. Still, the assessment depends on the season, weather, terrain, airspace and the time since the pet went missing.
Does a search guarantee that the animal will be found?+
No. A drone improves visibility and speeds up the search of certain zones, but success depends on many factors. Before setting out we give an honest assessment of the conditions, access to the area and the realistic scope of the mission.
What information do you need for a quote?+
The location or coordinates, approximate area, a description of the terrain or structure, the desired result, the deadline and any available documentation. For a pet search we also need a photo, the last known location and time, and the owner’s contact details.
In what format do we receive the data?+
Depending on the service: processed photos and video, a PDF report, orthophoto, point cloud, 3D model, a tabular summary or an agreed CAD/GIS format. We define the format before the flight so the deliverables fit your process.
