About Raptor Maps
Raptor Maps enable solar companies to increase performance, reduce costs, and standardize & compare solar PV assets across a portfolio. Founded by MIT engineers, with investment from Y Combinator, our software helps teams convert data collected through aerial inspections and on-site sensors into accurate, high-value system analytics and reports. We support the entire solar stack across six continents, to identify and localize anomalies that affect energy production.
