Raptor Maps News Today

Raptor Maps collaborated with Enel, DJI, and UVT to conduct the first-ever DJI Dock solar site inspection in North America. Conducted on a 180+ MWdc site, Raptor Maps built the necessary mission planning software to direct the drone to conduct the inspection.

Raptor Robotics is one of our new products that enables the deployment of robotics technology (such as autonomous drones / drone dock technology) on utility-scale solar sites.

Undetected faults and damage in solar PV modules, like cracks, manufacturing errors and foreign material, pose a “significant risk” to the solar industry according to a new report from US renewables firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA).

These climate tech investors are looking for founders with novel ideas—and believe there’s serious money to be made in the space.

Raptor Maps analyzed 24.5 GW of large-scale solar assets and determined that power losses due to equipment anomalies nearly doubled from 1.61% in 2019 to 3.13% in 2022. At the module level, cell and diode anomalies were the most common issues, it said.

Solar module underperformance has nearly doubled since 2019, costing around US$2.5 billion in projected losses for the global industry.

Raptor Maps, the leading provider of solar lifecycle management software, published the fifth edition of its Global Solar Report, with data that strikingly illustrates the underperformance of solar assets.
