Raptor Maps

We lower risks, costs, and losses for solar asset owners

Turn data from the air, ground, sensors, and equipment into performance intelligence that gives you clear-eyed visibility into what needs your attention at each solar plant. Automate time-intensive manual investigations and free up your team's time to focus on action.

From erosion to vegetation to balance of system component defects, our platform analyzes millions of collected images to help you conduct root cause analysis, direct your O&M efforts exactly where you need them, and verify construction and remediation progress.

Your solar plants are digitally re-constructed in a map-based interface and enriched with data so you can interact with your data more intuitively.

Your Digital Twin collects, aggregates, and normalizes data from different sources into a clean system of record so that no context is ever lost to history.

Keep constant eyes on-site with remotely operated autonomous drones. Raptor Solar Sentry can launch missions to investigate site conditions and equipment at anytime without sending anyone out to the site.

Automate time-intensive visual investigations, respond rapidly to alerts and weather events, and keep your teams safe with highly flexible remote inspections.

Every layer of the Digital Twin is accessible on web and mobile.

Technicians can use the RS Mobile App to navigate to checklist tasks, access necessary context for remediation, and track the impact of their hard work - even in areas with no cell signal.

Against the backdrop of booming electricity demand and the need for clean, low cost energy supply, the solar industry has grown rapidly to supercharge the energy transition.

Increasing total installed capacity and the average size of solar plants, coupled with more frequent occurrence of both expected and unexpected issues, have created challenges for asset owners and operators as they grow their portfolio.

We believe that technology like software and robotics can be a force-multiplier for solar companies building and managing solar farms so that the industry can scale to meet our climate goals.

Our solar management platform (Raptor Solar) combines the solar industry's most comprehensive visual analytics suite with the ability to orchestrate solar operations and maintenance work by people and robotics - providing the digital foundation owners and operators need to scale their capabilities without straining budgets and ultimately increasing the reliability and the rate of return of solar assets.

Thanks to our deep partnerships with leading OEMs and operators, we are at the forefront of module and equipment anomaly detection, robotics deployment on solar sites, and asset management best practices. Our global engineering and technical teams support solar operations across six continents.

Founded by two MIT engineers, Raptor Maps pioneered both drone-based aerial thermography of solar sites and delivering the results of those inspections through interactive, map-based digital twins so that solar owners and operators can get the most out of their inspections.
Since then, our platform has evolved alongside the solar industry to bring more robust performance and asset optimization insights, automate time-intensive and manual processes, and provide tools to bridge the gap between insight and action in order to empower the people who power our world with the tools they need to build a cleaner energy future.
