Drone high-access cleaning in Mont-de-Marsan

Cleaning drones project water and treatment solutions at high pressure onto high surfaces, without scaffolding, lift platforms or rope access: roof moss removal, facade cleaning, industrial cladding, soiled photovoltaic panels, glass canopies and steel structures. Fed from the ground through a hose connected to a pumping station, the drone treats 300 to 500 m² per hour depending on the surface — two to four times faster than traditional access methods, at a markedly lower cost as soon as the height exceeds two storeys.

We match the treatment to the substrate: low-pressure rinsing with deionised water for solar panels (no streaks), certified moss killer for roofs, appropriate detergents for cladding and render. The gain is not merely cosmetic: clean panels recover several percent of output, a de-mossed roof lasts longer, maintained cladding keeps its manufacturer warranty.

Common use cases

The local context in Mont-de-Marsan

Prefecture of the Landes at the confluence of the Douze and Midou rivers (forming the Midouze), Mont-de-Marsan is above all, for drone pilots, a city under military air authority: air base 118, one of France's largest, fields Rafales, test squadrons and the air-warfare expertise centre — its prohibited and restricted zones cover much of the sector, and any local mission is prepared with the drone map and, often, coordination with the base. The city itself cultivates figurative sculpture (the Despiau-Wlérick museum, a triennial), the Plumaçon bullring and the Madeleine festival.

The local economy blends defence, administration, food production (poultry, maize, nearby Armagnac) and forestry — the Landes de Gascogne forest, western Europe's largest planted forest, surrounds the town and faces summer overflight restrictions during fire-risk periods. Drone missions: agriculture and forestry, construction monitoring, heritage, communication for the poultry and Armagnac sectors.

Applicable regulations

Cleaning drones are heavy machines (10 to 25 kg with the loaded hose): they fall outside the open category for most jobs and operate in the specific category, under a scenario or an operational authorisation with SORA risk assessment, especially as they often fly in built-up areas right next to buildings. The ground area is always cordoned off and closed to the public during treatment (risk of falling water and spray). Environmental rules also apply: approved treatment products, controlled recovery or infiltration of runoff depending on the site, no direct discharge of biocides into storm drains. AlphaTango registration, pilot trained in tethered flight with payload, coordination with the building operator.

Frequently asked questions

Does drone cleaning damage tiles or panels?

No: pressure is adjusted to the substrate (low pressure on tiles and panels, never destructive high pressure) and the drone never touches the surface — unlike foot traffic, which cracks tiles.

What output gain can be expected after solar panel cleaning?

Depending on soiling (dust, pollen, bird droppings, agricultural or industrial deposits), observed gains range from 3 to 15% of output. A thermal inspection can be combined with cleaning to detect faulty modules.

Do water or power need to be cut during the work?

We bring our own water supply (tank and pumping station). For photovoltaic panels, shutting down the inverters during washing is recommended; we coordinate this with your plant operator.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Mont-de-Marsan?

Almost: Zones interdites et réglementées de la base aérienne 118 (Rafale, expérimentation); Restrictions estivales de survol de la forêt des Landes (risque incendie). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
