Drone photos for precise PV planning
Precise PV planning with professional drone photos and 3D models. Centimeter-accurate orthomaps and photogrammetry for error-free module assignment. Create digital planning principles now.

What are drone photos?
Drone photos are high-resolution aerial photos. autarc uses them for PV planning. Photogrammetry allows you to create distortion-free orthomaps and 3D models. With 75 to 300 individual images, planning principles are created with centimeter accuracy. They enable precise module assignment and string planning without measurement errors.
How do drone photos work with autarc?
You will receive professional drone footage for your PV projects. Our photogrammetry creates precise 3D models from 75 to 300 photos. They plan directly in the digital twin or use distortion-free orthomaps. It only takes 10 to 20 minutes to record on site.
- Step 1: Drone footage on site
- Step 2: Photogrammetry processing to 3D model
- Step 3: Precise planning in 2D or 3D
- Step 4: Error-free module assignment and string planning

FAQ about drone photos
How long does a drone recording take on site?
The recording takes 10 to 20 minutes. You will receive 75 to 300 individual photos for photogrammetry processing.
What is the accuracy of the 3D models?
The 3D models are accurate to the centimeter. They completely eliminate planning errors through precise photogrammetry methods.
Can I use my own drone photos?
They can upload their own drone photos directly. The system automatically processes them for planning.
What is the resolution of the orthomaps?
The orthomaps have a 20 centimeter ground resolution. An image pixel corresponds to 20 cm x 20 cm in reality.
Are orthomaps available for the whole of Germany?
Digital orthophotos are available across Germany. You can use them for your projects.
What planning options does the 3D model offer?
You plan module assignment and string planning directly in the 3D model. Every roof detail is recorded with centimeter accuracy and can be planned.
