Find every fault in your solar array, from the air.
Fly a drone over your installation and Helios turns the images into a live map of the array, panel-level fault and soiling detection, and a report you can share. Thermal and RGB together, so cell-level faults and surface problems both show up.
From drone images to a graded array, one accountable vendor
Solar inspection, from drone images to a decision.
Solar panels degrade and fail in ways you cannot see from the ground or from a production meter alone: a hot cell, a cracked module, a dirty or shaded string. Helios finds them from the air and shows you exactly which panel, and where.
Every panel, mapped
We rebuild your array from the drone images and lay it over real satellite imagery, so every finding sits on the exact panel it came from. No manual tagging, no schematic guesswork.
Thermal and RGB
Thermal infrared finds the cell-level faults you cannot see: hotspots, cracked cells, diode faults, offline strings. RGB adds soiling, damage, debris and shading. One combined health read.
Health you can act on
An overall health score, defect counts by type, and a per-panel drill-down that takes you straight to the problem modules and what to do about them.
A report you can share
A clean inspection report per site: summary, array map, findings and priority actions. Hand it to an asset owner, an O&M crew or an insurer.
From a flight over the site to a graded array.
Five steps from a drone in the air to a health dashboard and a report you can hand over.
Fly
A drone flies the installation, thermal and RGB. Your pilot or ours.
Upload
Drop the image set into Helios. It reads the GPS, gimbal and camera data DJI writes into every frame.
Auto-map the array
Helios places every image on the ground and rebuilds your panels as an addressable grid over real satellite imagery.
Detect faults
Thermal-first fault detection across every panel, with RGB for soiling and damage. Findings are reviewed before they reach your report.
Health dashboard and report
See the whole array graded, drill into any panel, and export a report you can share.
Two cameras, every kind of fault.
Thermal for the faults that only show up as heat, RGB for the ones you can see. Together they cover the whole array.
The faults that only show up as heat.
- Dead and underperforming cells
- Hotspots
- Cracked and shunted cells
- Bypass-diode faults
- Offline modules and strings
The problems you can see, caught at scale.
- Soiling and dirt build-up
- Physical damage
- Debris and bird fouling
- Vegetation and shading
- Module and mounting issues
Thermal infrared makes faulty cells stand out as heat, panel by panel.
Built for the people who own the output.
If you own the panels, maintain them or answer for their performance, Helios gives you a clear, panel-level read on the state of the array without climbing on a roof or walking a field. From a single commercial rooftop to utility-scale ground mount.
