BONUS: How Raptor Maps Solve Systematic Problems for Solar Farms via Drone Thermal Mapping - a podcast by Drone U

Drones are efficiently and autonomously inspecting Solar farms from install to maintenance via thermal drone mapping software Raptor Maps. Our interview discusses the best drones for solar inspections and how to best utilize Raptor Maps for solar inspections.

How does Raptor Maps Work?

While drones provide an acquisition mechanism, Raptor Maps utilizes traditional aerial photogrammetry with radiometric thermal mapping to produce interactive maps for solar farms to inspect when problem areas. Raptor Maps will alert customers of faulty construction, faulty panels and other problems via the artificial intelligence built algorithms.

How does thermal mapping ensure the most efficient solar farm possible?

You want to spot problems before they exist and ensure maximum power output.  Raptor Maps provides an end-to-end solution from construction to maintenance to provide actionable data, created from aerial imagery to ensure maximum power efficiency at a solar farm.  This software provides an extreme business opportunity for drone pilots as they can assist solar farms as aerial efficiency inspectors.
