A full system patrol takes months because a person reviews every frame, and the frames that matter (corrosion, a hot connector, vegetation creeping into the clearance) are a fraction of a percent of the footage. On a solar site, an underperforming string hides inside an inverter total until the monthly production report, and by then the revenue is gone.

Leak monitoring has a regulator attached. The question is not whether the methane sensor fired but whether the report has the timestamp, the GPS point and the audit trail the LDAR rule asks for, and whether the alert that mattered was buried under the ones that did not.

GridAurex ingests drone and helicopter footage, finds corrosion, vegetation and hot spots, and puts them in route-based review queues ordered by priority; confirmed findings become EAM work orders with GPS coordinates. The model is trained on your historical footage first, so it learns your assets and not a generic catalogue.

HelioLytix maps hot spots and underperforming panels from thermal imagery to the string and the inverter, estimates the production impact, and orders maintenance by revenue loss rather than by panel count; the detection model runs at a 94 percent F1 score and hands findings to SolarEdge, Huawei and similar monitoring systems. ThermaSentinel detects methane and flare anomalies from thermal and OGI sensors, prioritizes by severity and regulatory risk, and writes the EPA and LDAR report with the timestamps, coordinates and audit trail already in it.

Precision depends on the sensor. Methane detection sits above 85 percent on good OGI resolution and lower on poor; we tune thresholds in the pilot and tell you the number for your sensors rather than the number from a brochure.

Everything can run on-prem with no cloud dependency, which is how critical infrastructure usually wants it; the data stays inside your network. Work orders are created automatically from anomaly severity and location, with the review queue in between so a person signs off before a crew is sent.

Proof of concept to pilot in 6 to 8 weeks for line inspections (starting from historical footage) and 4 to 6 weeks for solar PV (thermal baseline, first hot-spot report). Leak monitoring: 6 to 8 weeks to threshold tuning and the first compliance report.
