"FAA & OSHA Rules You Need to Know" - New Federal Rules Favor Robotic Cleaning New FAA & OSHA Rules Makes Industrial Drone Cleaning a Hot Career Path

Drone Force USA Helps Facilities Stay Safe and Compliant Labor laws and airspace rules are tightening across the board. OSHA mandates fall protection for work above 4 feet, while the FAA restricts drones near people, property, and critical infrastructure—unless certified and waivered. The result? A legal maze that delays or cancels cleanings across rooftops, towers, and solar fields. Drone Force USA’s fleet of FAA-certified drones flies at night, avoids no-fly zones, and eliminates risky scaffolding or lift use. The company’s SOPs align with OSHA, FAA Part 107, and Clean Water Act guidelines—giving facility managers and solar engineers a safer, faster way to clean at scale. Backed by Apellix drone technology and a national pilot certification course, Drone Force turns liability into productivity.

Drone Force USA Expands to Nation’s Top Solar + Skyscraper Markets — Seeks Elite Drone Pilots to Lead the Cleaning Revolution

Drone Force USA is setting a new standard for industrial exterior cleaning — and now they’re scaling fast into high-opportunity regions where safety, savings, and speed matter most.

Following the company’s debut of its in-house engineered, FAA-compliant drone fleet — modeled after Apellix® hardware and optimized for solar panels, wind turbines, and skyscraper glass — the team is officially expanding operations into:

Texas, New York, Florida, and Dubai, with Miami, Houston, Austin, Dallas, and Manhattan already onboarding clients and new pilot crews.

Why Now? The Market Is Demanding Change

Traditional pressure washing is plagued by OSHA violations, high insurance costs, and environmental limitations. Labor-based teams can’t keep up with the risk or the regulatory shifts:

  • OSHA mandates fall protection above 4 ft — pushing out many rooftop and facade labor crews.
  • FAA restricts flights over infrastructure — unless the operator is Part 107-certified and properly waivered.
  • Solar panels lose up to 30% efficiency when covered in dust — especially in states like Texas and California.
  • Insurance costs for building access crews have skyrocketed — due to increased liability.

Facility managers, EPC contractors, and asset engineers are now choosing a smarter, safer route: drone cleaning.

Drone Force’s Breakthrough Tech Is Built for This Moment

Drone Force USA’s proprietary pressure-washing drone system offers:

  • High-precision cleaning for panels, glass, and turbines
  • Fully autonomous night operations
  • Onboard stabilization and custom PSI spray control
  • FAA Part 107-compliant flight planning + geo-fencing
  • Environmentally safe, low-water and waterless blend support
  • Integration with site-specific SOPs and insurance protocols

Every drone pilot is trained and certified via the Drone Force Safety & Flight Academy, with SOPs for FAA, OSHA, and EPA compliance built in.

Client Testimonials Say It Best

“We had three bids for solar panel cleaning. The labor teams wanted scaffolding and 3 weeks. Drone Force finished in 48 hours — and saved us $13,000.”

Review by Site Manager, Austin, TX

“They showed up with their own water, mapped the building, and were flying within 90 minutes. No mess. No permits. No safety delays. Just clean glass.”

Review by Property Owner, Miami, FL

“I’ve been in solar EPC since 2007 and this is the first cleaning vendor I’ve brought to multiple sites. Zero safety incidents, and their pilots know their tech.”
