ZenaTech's Drone as a Service Enters Solar Surveying Market with U.S. School Contract Wins, Targeting $600,000 in Revenue from First Solar Client Drone
Drone capture lets survey crews map an entire school campus in about the time static LiDAR needs for a single parking lot, positioning ZenaTech for recurring work in a drone solar inspection market projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2032
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces that its Drone as a Service business has entered the solar surveying market with two contract awards totaling more than $110,000 for solar school campus and municipal projects. A third project valued at about $60,000 is expected to be awarded within 90 days, and management expects the client to generate roughly $150,000 in revenue per quarter, or about $600,000 over the next 12 months.
“Solar developers can’t design a single array until they have precise site data, and that first survey is where drones change the economics,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “With static LiDAR, every hour a crew spends in the field generates five to seven hours of data analysis office work. A drone covers five times the area in that same hour and combined with AI processing, the value multiplies on every project. These awards put us in front of solar developers at the very start of a project, and we see a clear path to recurring inspection work over the life of each installation.”
