Recruiting founding solar-inspection teams

Solar inspection pilots: turn a DJI thermal flight into mapped candidate anomalies and a review-ready inspection report

Stop spending several hours turning your flight into a report. Build a solar inspection service around a professional deliverable you can defend: review the evidence and limitations before sharing it with your client.

Bring one existing compatible solar dataset. We’ll help process it free and review the results with you. You keep the deliverables; we ask for one 20-minute feedback call.

How it works

From drone flight to inspection report

From flight to review-ready PDF in one workflow, with an inspector’s review of the evidence before sharing.

1

Share Your Dataset

Bring original radiometric thermal images and matching RGB photos from one compatible DJI solar flight. We’ll confirm dataset suitability and arrange beta access by email.

2

Map Candidate Anomalies

Build RGB and thermal maps, then flag candidate hotspots and PID-like thermal patterns. Automated review priorities help focus the inspection; they do not confirm faults.

3

Review the Deliverables

Inspect available source evidence, record review decisions, and export findings for follow-up. Review the inspection PDF before sharing it.

Features

Built for pilots who inspect solar

For solo pilots and small inspection teams adding solar inspections to their services: maps, source imagery, and review tools in one workflow. A qualified inspector still needs to assess the findings.

Radiometric Thermal Analysis

Decode temperatures from supported DJI radiometric JPEGs and inspect available peak, background, and temperature-difference measurements alongside the source imagery.

Captures processed end to end include DJI Matrice 4T, Mavic 3T (M3T / M3TA) and Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced. The Franklin M2EA capture validates the pipeline only; a confirmed sensor fault makes its thermal data unsuitable for calibration validation.

Candidate Anomaly Review

Review candidate hotspots and PID-like thermal patterns in separate Review Priority and Monitor queues. These are automated screening results, not a diagnosis or a fault-free verdict.

Orthophoto Mapping

Explore georeferenced RGB and thermal maps with candidate locations and detected panel outlines. Coverage and panel assignment depend on the capture; some locations remain ambiguous or unassigned.

Reports for Human Review

IEC 62446-3-styled PDF reports bring together candidate findings, thermal imagery, review priorities, and available location information. Review the evidence and limitations before sharing; this is not IEC certification.

Source Evidence & Review Decisions

For runs with complete candidate evidence, compare thermal and RGB map crops with source-image context. Retain or dismiss a candidate, request field verification, or mark it not assessable, with a review note.

Exports & Follow-up

Export eligible candidate catalogs as CSV or GeoJSON with review filters, or download the available evidence archive. Create manual follow-up cases from eligible reviewed candidates. Older captures may need reprocessing to enable evidence review.

Before you share a dataset

Which DJI models have been processed?

Captures processed end to end include Matrice 4T, Mavic 3T (M3T / M3TA), and Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced. Model support does not guarantee that every dataset will work. The Franklin M2EA capture validates the pipeline only: a confirmed sensor fault makes its thermal data unsuitable for calibration validation.

What makes a solar dataset compatible?

Bring original radiometric thermal JPEGs and matching RGB photos from one solar flight. Image overlap, capture conditions, metadata, and camera health affect suitability. We confirm suitability by email before arranging beta access; a rendered thermal screenshot is not a substitute for the original files.

What happens to my uploaded imagery?

The signup form collects team and dataset details, not image files. When you later upload through the product, imagery, embedded flight metadata, and generated maps, candidate catalogs, and reports are stored and processed using Google Cloud and Firebase. Organization access depends on member roles.

Who owns the data, and can I request deletion?

You retain ownership of your imagery and processing outputs. Our existing privacy policy says we do not sell personal information. Data is retained while your account is active or as needed to provide the service, and for the purposes described in that policy. Contact contact@4tech.us for access, export, or deletion requests.

What is included in the free first-flight beta?

Bring one existing compatible solar dataset. We’ll help process it free and review the results with you. You keep the deliverables; we ask for one 20-minute feedback call. Submitting the form requests a conversation; it does not automatically grant beta access.

Can I send the generated report straight to a client?

Review the evidence and limitations first. The IEC 62446-3-styled PDF brings together candidate findings, thermal imagery, review priorities, and available location information. It supports an inspector’s work; it is not IEC certification.

Why are the results screening, not a diagnosis?

Hotspots and PID-like thermal patterns are candidates for human review. Capture coverage and panel assignment vary, and some locations remain ambiguous or unassigned. No candidates found does not mean a fault-free site. Verify findings before making maintenance, safety, or warranty decisions.

Who is this beta for?

Pilots and inspection teams with an existing solar thermal flight to review. It is not a homeowner self-diagnosis tool, and it does not replace a qualified inspector or field verification.
