The flight is only the beginning

A set of thermal images is not an inspection.

The hard part starts after landing: finding the right panel, understanding the thermal signal and giving your client a clear next step.

Hours lost between files

Opening images one by one, matching RGB with thermal and copying notes into a report keeps you at your desk long after the flight.

A hotspot without context

A bright patch is only useful if you can locate the panel, check its temperature and connect the finding to the site.

Another handover to explain

Screenshots and spreadsheets leave your client piecing the survey together. They need a map, the evidence and a readable report.

Your inspection workflow should earn its place in the budget.

Every extra handoff adds work to the same job. Connect image processing, panel review and delivery so your time goes into checking findings and serving the next client.

  1. 01

    Upload & process

    Upload overlapping RGB and radiometric thermal images. Generate both maps in a finished project.

  2. 02

    Run Solar Inspect

    Open Modules and start panel detection and thermal analysis on the processed maps.

  3. 03

    Review the findings

    Check flagged panels, compare both layers and record your own review decisions.

  4. 04

    Report & share

    Create a PDF inspection report and send an interactive map link to your client.

Two panels flagged for review, highlighted in yellow on the thermal map.

Automatic analysis. Your judgement.

Find the panels. Focus on the exceptions.

A panel inventory you can inspect

Detect panel boundaries automatically and keep the same panel identity across RGB and thermal maps.

Thermal findings with context

Review temperatures, thermal coverage and the signal behind a flagged panel. Compare it with the visible image.

You stay in control

Correct a boundary, add a missed panel or change a classification in your own project. Automation starts the review; you make the decision.

A result your client can use

Deliver more than a thermal screenshot.

Create a solar panel inspection report that connects the site overview with the panels that need attention.

  • RGB and thermal map views with panel overlays
