The invention discloses security and protection unmanned aerial vehicle detection equipment used for a photovoltaic power station and a method of the detection equipment, and relates to the technicalfield of the photovoltaic power station. The security and protection unmanned aerial vehicle detection equipment consists of a detection equipment bracket and an unmanned aerial vehicle; the detectionequipment bracket consist of longitudinal vertical rods and a top fixed frame; the top fixed frame is erected above the periphery of the photovoltaic power station through the longitudinal vertical rods; a track is formed in the top fixed frame; an electric rolling wheel is movably arranged in the track; the electric rolling wheel is connected with a tray; the unmanned aerial vehicle is stopped on the tray; and detection apparatuses are arranged on the lower parts of the outer ends of wings on the two sides of the unmanned aerial vehicle respectively. By virtue of the detection equipment, thecondition of the photovoltaic power station can be detected, and meanwhile, the working frequency of the operation system of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be lowered, so that the service life of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be prolonged effectively, and higher practicability is achieved.
