Working for the solar industry, there are definitely seasonal trends. It hard to do an important roof survey if there is snow getting in the way of structure and defects. It was this time last year that I started surveying, and I was so busy I felt like I could not keep up. Now that it is spring leading to summer I have really not seen any uptick in business or installations. Some research showed that there are parts of the power grid that cannot handle excessive amounts of energy added to the grid as it would cause imbalances and potential fluctuations in power. I find it odd that some homeowners report they are not permitted to put as many panels on their roof than is actually structurally and technically possible. This says to me that energy companies are not prepared for the levels of growth we are seeing. Since I am new to the business I am going to keep a close eye on this. It brought me to this article from SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association). There is some really intersting data here. I think I will stick around a bit. https://lnkd.in/gdFvRES

Celebrating One Year of Nitescape Drones! I am thrilled to announce that Nitescape Drones has officially reached a full year of business! It’s been an incredible journey filled with hard work, dedication, and countless rewards. Over the past year, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people, exploring amazing places, and capturing some truly breathtaking aerial views. Every project has brought new perspectives and experiences that have fueled our passion for the business even more. I traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend a UAV symposium where there were many influential members of drone organizations, manufacturers, and principals from the FAA. I took a lot of energy out of the event and went on to fly over 250 drone sorties in MA, CT, NH, and RI. Primarily, my mainstay has been doing pre-install solar surveys for many of the drone companies in our area. I was also able to do a few commercial cinematic productions, filmed a lot of surfing footage on my off days, and finished configuring an FPV drone with which I hope to do a lot cinematically. I’m currently working on a production I filmed in Big Sky, Montana, on snowmobiles in open airspace close to Yellowstone Park (while observing the restrictions set by Part 107). The accumulated snow in the back country was over 3' deep! Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the journey. Here’s to many more years of droning! #Drones #Anniversary #AerialPhotography #DroneLife #Celebration
