Frequently asked questions

Although we have FAA-licensed pilots that conduct our training programs, we are not a drone operator or contractor. We are a SaaS (Software as a Service) business, which helps keep our costs low for our clients – especially those that own their own drone fleets.

We encourage our clients to consider purchasing their own drone-camera package. However, if they choose not to, we have preferred drone contractor partners all around the world to help with the inspection and data collection process.

Inspections ideally include both drones (for the aerial inspections) and dual thermal IR and HD RGB cameras (for anomaly-identifying imaging).

We only recommend equipment that meets industry standards. For drones, we recommend the DJI M200 or 210. For camera packages, we recommend the FLIR Zenmuse XT with Thermal or the Zenmuse XT2 with Thermal. For inspections and data collection, the ideal drone-camera package is the DJI M210 and the Zenmuse XT2 with Thermal. An additional add-on for further geotagging accuracy is the DJI D-RTK GNSS-G Navigation and Positioning System.

We price on a Dollar per MW per Year basis ($/MW/Year).

We believe that to optimize asset health, solar sites should be inspected more frequently than once a year and our pricing structure reflects that.

We encourage our clients to purchase their own drone and camera packages for flexibility when it comes to the timing and frequency of inspections. While the cost of the drone and cameras can be amortized over the lifetime of the drone, our per-year pricing incentivizes our clients to inspect more frequently as the cost of using our software solution decreases with each successive inspection.

We understand the logistical challenges and difficulties involved in managing a utility-scale PV site. Developing an industry leading turnkey solution for solar aerial inspection, we can inspect hard-to-access areas without mobilizing heavy equipment while ensuring the highest safety standards. Regarding aerial data analytics, our AeroSolar platform is capable of precisely locating each anomaly among thousands of individual modules and deliver the most actionable insights for field technicians to optimize their repair deployment.

We are currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the US. However, we have operations worldwide. Because we are a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, we are location agnostic.
