Drones have been known to reach and exceed the astonishing height of one thousand feet, that’s more than the height of a ten storey building; they can also fly a great distance of eight kilometres away from their remote controllers, so ideal for inspections of large areas such as solar farms. They can reach the top of high rise buildings and successfully complete their inspection. All they need is power and a little configuration. ​

This is useful especially in the inspection of lots of solar panels or a large number of roofs.
