About

MapperX is browser-based software for inspecting solar PV plants with drone-captured thermal and RGB imagery. It organizes inspection data and uses AI-assisted analysis to flag potential module-level thermal anomalies and visual defects for expert review. Findings are linked to plant maps and asset records, helping teams review faults, compare inspections, assign follow-up work and prepare PDF reports with anomaly, temperature, severity and location information. MapperX supports outdoor photovoltaic thermography workflows aligned with IEC 62446-3 and solar operations and maintenance, commissioning, warranty documentation and insurance use cases. It is designed for PV inspection and O&M teams, drone service providers, EPC contractors and solar asset owners, and accepts compatible DJI thermal-drone imagery. Inspection conclusions and reports remain subject to the reviewing team's qualifications and scope.

About

Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.
