Twice as many solar panels installed - in less time, with our transport drones
TCS Drone Operations delivers building materials precisely and efficiently using drones. We transport up to one ton of material per hour directly to the job site. Our specialized drones even reach hard-to-reach construction sites throughout Switzerland.
Solar panels are placed exactly where your technicians need them. Installation time is reduced by an average of 50% compared to traditional methods. Our service is available within 72 hours, wherever (almost) your project is located in Switzerland.
Say goodbye to :
- Waiting and preparation times for cranes
- Assembly of freight elevators
- Costly helicopter operations
Our drones offer a cost-effective alternative for transporting materials in suburban, rural and alpine areas.
This is what Markus Weissenberger, technical specialist at Helion AG says:
"We only see advantages in working with the transport drone: The modules can be transported directly to the installation site, so the modules no longer have to be carried and distributed manually on the roof, which saves us time and relieves our employees."
Why do leading solar installers choose TCS Drone Operations?
Because time is money - and we make sure you save both.
Saving time and money: Crane waiting time is completely eliminated, as is the preparation of crane locations. Installing solar panels is much faster. Costs are considerably lower than with conventional methods.
Servicing hard-to-reach sites: Our drones transport materials to steep slopes, extreme heights and areas with no access roads. This makes traditional transport vehicles superfluous.
Ecological benefits: Fewer transport vehicles mean fewer CO2 emissions. Our electric drones operate with low emissions and noise. The impact on the environment is considerably reduced.
Optimized safety: Precise placement of equipment directly on the assembly site minimizes manual transport journeys. This reduces the risk of accidents and the physical strain on your staff.
This is what Raphaël Blanc, general manager of Raphaël Blanc Electricité says:
"A unique and brilliant experience. Extremely fast and professional. Saves time, energy and back problems. An appropriate solution to solar for installations of a certain size. Many thanks to TCS for this collaboration, and I look forward to working with you again."
More than just transport - a complete solution
TCS Drone Operations has specific expertise in transporting photovoltaic components. We deliver up to 40 solar panels per hour, exactly where your technicians need them.
Our pilots are experienced in solar installations. They understand the specific requirements of these projects. Collaboration with your team is seamless and efficient. Continuous material flow optimizes on-site operations. Downtime is reduced to a minimum. Total installation time is considerably reduced.
Every project begins with a detailed needs analysis. Our experts advise you on logistical possibilities. Planning is tailored to your site.
The drones are equipped with precise lifting systems. Each flight is carried out by certified pilots. Communication with your on-site team is continuous.
We adapt flexibly to your requirements. We can also intervene at short notice, within 72 hours.
This is what Kolja Gerlach, solar installer at Helion AG says:
"We had the opportunity to realize a project with TCS and a transport drone: moving 200 panels in less than 2 days, including installation - that's about 5 times faster than usual. In addition, both site installation and our physical strain were much less. The negative thing about this method is that you don't want to go back to the old method."

Transport drones - frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How much weight can your drone carry?
Our drones transport materials with a total weight of up to one tonne per hour. Individual loads vary according to the specific drone model. Our drones can carry up to 40 kg per rotation.
Where can load-carrying drones be used?
We have a general authorization for the whole of Switzerland (“SORA” - Specific Operations Risk Assessment). Our drones operate in suburban, rural and alpine areas up to a population density of 300 people per square kilometer. The important thing is to comply with all legal requirements: with its brand, TCS guarantees safety and quality.
How quickly is the service available?
Once an order has been placed, we are ready to intervene within 72 hours - anywhere in Switzerland. This presupposes an intensive analysis of local conditions. Contact us today, without obligation, to find out our assessment!
What authorizations are required?
TCS Drone Operations Services has all the necessary permits for Switzerland. We take care of all administrative requirements.
Is drone transport more economical than traditional methods?
Yes, thanks to shorter set-up times, lower personnel costs and the absence of expensive special vehicles, the cost advantages are as obvious as they are indisputable.
