“Solar developers can’t design a single array until they have precise site data, and that first survey is where drones change the economics”

“With static LiDAR, every hour a crew spends in the field generates five to seven hours of data analysis office work. A drone covers five times the area in that same hour and combined with AI processing, the value multiplies on every project.”

“These awards put us in front of solar developers at the very start of a project, and we see a clear path to recurring inspection work over the life of each installation.”
