Heliolytics

Heliolytics' consulting services improve the operations of renewable power assets with the use of our proprietary site inspection and data analytics tools and insights. Heliolytics is the global leader in providing cost-effective aerial inspection services for PV systems. We lead the industry in actionable thermography analysis and reporting with the completion of more than 140 GW of inspections on more than 10,000 sites in sizes varying from 10 kW to 750 MW. We service and partner with solar owners, operators, developers, EPCs, financiers, equipment providers, insurers, asset managers, and independent engineers to optimize portfolio management of solar assets. Heliolytics aerial inspection services use proprietary aircraft-based sensors to collect high-definition infrared and visual images of all modules on a site. This imagery is post-processed with our in-house imagery analysis software suite to provide accurate maps of fault locations and definitions. These images are analyzed by our PV experts to detect current failures, decipher potential failure modes, and determine the root cause of system faults. On average, we detect $23 million USD worth of annual recoverable revenue for our clients, which corresponds to an average energy loss of 1.2% not otherwise identified by current O&M practices. Our services provide many benefits to our clients, including optimization of system performance, proactive mitigation of risk, tracking DC performance, reducing O&M costs, and increasing site safety.
