When arranging a solar site inspection with Raptor Maps, you’ll select one of three inspection types:
-
The Raptor Overview inspection is ideal for rapid drone flights and insight into string-level outages. It identifies anomalies at the module level.
-
Use the Raptor Standard inspection for annual preventative maintenance. In addition to string-level outages, it identifies anomalous diodes, cells, and hot spots.
-
The Raptor Comprehensive inspection meets IEC TS 62446-3 thermography standards. It identifies additional anomalies based on differences in temperature as well as includes all of the information provided by a Raptor Standard inspection.
Once your inspection report is available, you’ll access the results of your solar site inspection via the Raptor Maps software portal with the following features:
- Portfolio dashboard to access individual PV system inspections
- User permissions to add collaborators and clients to the organization or individual inspection reports
- Web report containing all analytics in the Proposal
- Interactive, georeferenced site plan with analytics overlay, with modules containing findings individually addressed according to custom Numbering Convention (row, string, module, etc.)
- image linking to findings and full image sets
Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
Inspection report | Understand the financial impact of site anomalies Use detailed findings, site map, and images for O&M planning Gain insight into different anomaly types |
Map | Locate anomalies using the site as-built and numbering scheme Review anomaly images to assist in maintenance planning Filter anomalies displayed by type |
Mobile app | Access the site map and find anomalies while in the field Eases finding defect location for maintenance personnel |
Analytics distribution | Provide others with access to app features Filter report and generate a PDF file containing analytics (summary statistics, classifications, locations, images) Share read-only report access using a link |
Data export | Use JSON to export solar inspection data to other systems Export anomaly locations to a .shp or .kml file containing color-coded pins designating defect categories and locations, and displaying original defect image for use with mapping software .CSV (spreadsheet) files (2) containing summary statistics and list of findings Integrate using the ingestor API to speed transfer of solar inspection data for analysis by Raptor Maps Access and download image sets under "Data" tab of report |
