Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved Minneapolis based, Xcel Energy to fly the drone, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the operator.

Xcel Energy is honoured to be the first utility to conduct flights that will enhance grid reliability and safety for our employees and the public, says Ben Fowke, Chairman, President and CEO of Xcel Energy.

The company will be operating UAS BVLOS on a routine basis within a designated area and 20 miles away from the Denver International Airport. For the successful and safe flights, the company is working with several partners.

For past many years, Xcel Energy has been collaborating with FAA to develop operational and safety requirements for UAS operations in the utility industry.

The drone industry continuously grow up throughout the world. From India where the Deep Aero was based, we move to Denver, USA where FAA approved the Xcel Energy to fly the drone.
This article is really interesting due to the fact that BVLOS or Beyond Visual Line of Sight will operate 20 miles away from Denver National Airport.
I conducted a research in Xcel Energy, fortunately, I found out that Xcel Energy is a utility holding company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving more than 3.3 million electric customers and 1.8 million natural gas customers in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico. Well, I don't think that it has relation with Deep Aero but I think it is an opportunity to open the utility of drones throughout the world.

oh finally something interesting in this project so we don't need battery in the future, though we have solar panels to use to maintain the batterly life of the drones. In China they have alot of solar panels and their solar capacity was to grow to 1,800 MW by 2020. I'm hoping that neigboring countries could do the same thing so we can conserve energy in the future and to help the mother nature.

Depending in solar energy is not good in the mother earth, we need also to consume oil to generate electicity because if we did not use it, oil in the earth will dominate soon and it may destruct the ecosystem. What we need is a balance ecosystem.
For me, using solar charging is good in drone specially if it can store even 1000 microfarad. Deep Aero can do it without the help of neighbouring countries since Deep Aero is a global leader for drones and making a solar charging in drones is not a big deal for a project that is 10x advanced.

I think the article doesn't talk about using solar energy in drones but rather being allowed to fly the drone beyond visual line of sight of the operator. It just so happen that Xcel Energy is a utility company that will be using the said drones that is why the picture may have include solar panels. What does beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the operator mean. It means that the one who is operating the drone will need not have to see the actual drone to be able to operate the said drones. I usually see drones operator riding a vehicle following their drones while operating it. This will be more convenient for the drone operator. There will also be a designated area that is at least 20 miles or 32 kilometer away from the airport. I'm still wondering what is the range of the signal of the remote control that operates the drones.
