Aerial Thermal Imaging

See what the
naked eye misses.

HeatMap Aerial delivers precision thermal inspections for solar arrays, commercial rooftops, and critical infrastructure — revealing defects, heat loss, and failures before they become costly problems.

What We Offer

Inspection
Services

From a single residential array to a multi-acre commercial solar farm, our thermal platform adapts to every inspection scope and deliverable need.

Solar Panel Inspection

Identify underperforming cells, hotspot defects, bypass diode failures, delamination, and soiling patterns across entire arrays in a single flight.

Thermal Imaging

Rooftop Inspection

Detect moisture intrusion, insulation failures, membrane breaches, and HVAC anomalies without ladders, scaffolding, or interruption to operations.

Thermal Imaging

3D Modeling

Photogrammetric reconstruction of structures and terrain into accurate, measurable 3D models — exportable as point clouds, mesh, or DSM formats.

Photogrammetry

Orthographic Projections

True-to-scale orthomap deliverables with thermal overlays — ideal for asset management, engineering review, insurance documentation, and site planning.

GIS / Mapping

HD Video

Cinema-quality 4K aerial video for documentation, marketing, insurance claims, and progress monitoring — delivered color-graded and ready to use.

Aerial Videography

Inspection Reports

Annotated deliverable reports with geo-referenced anomaly maps, temperature readings, severity classifications, and actionable maintenance recommendations.

Reporting

How It Works

From Flight
to Findings

01

Consultation

We scope the inspection, confirm site access requirements, and establish deliverables. Remote or on-site kickoffs available.

02

Flight Planning

Mission parameters are set for altitude, overlap, time-of-day, and thermal delta — optimized for your asset type and size.

03

Thermal Capture

Dual-sensor flights capture synchronized thermal IR and 4K RGB imagery under peak irradiance or site-specific conditions.

04

Data Processing

Raw imagery is processed into orthomosaics, 3D models, and thermal composites with anomaly detection applied.

05

Report Delivery

Annotated PDF or interactive report delivered within 48 hours, with geo-referenced findings and severity tiers.

The Case For Thermal

Precision that
protects your
investment.

Non-Destructive & Non-Invasive

No physical contact required. Thermal imaging identifies issues with zero risk of damage to panels, membranes, or finishes.

Covers Large Areas Quickly

A drone covers a megawatt-scale solar array in hours — the same inspection on foot would take days and miss subsurface anomalies entirely.

Early Detection Saves Money

Identifying a failing bypass diode or water infiltration early prevents cascading damage and expensive emergency repairs down the line.

Insurance & Warranty Compliance

Documented thermal evidence supports warranty claims, insurance documentation, and O&M compliance requirements.

Quantified Deliverables

Temperature data, GPS coordinates, and anomaly classifications give engineers actionable numbers — not vague observations.
