"We're playing catch up rather than being proactive." Most compliance teams spend 70%+ of their time on manual effort instead of strategic risk management. With Category 2 IBR facilities requiring compliance by May 2026 and proposed CIP-003 expansions, the complexity isn't decreasing - but your approach can change.

Join Peter Stovall, Director of Product at Raptor Maps, and guest speaker Patrick Miller, President and CEO of AMPYX CYBER, for a strategic conversation on how compliance and OT teams can adapt to evolving standards at a time of surging energy demand.

Building a profitable solar asset and delivering it on schedule is complex. Developers and EPCs juggle multiple timelines, stakeholders, and construction risks. 

That’s why we’re excited to host a conversation with Ben New, former SVP of EPC and Operations at Avantus, one of the country’s leading utility-scale developers. Ben brings deep expertise in construction management and best practices for scaling complex projects.

The solar industry is facing a critical challenge: asset owners need deeper visibility into the health of their projects, while O&M providers are under pressure to deliver more value with fewer resources. Drone-in-a-Box (DIAB) technology is emerging as a solution for both.

Raptor Maps' team will be exhibiting at RE+ 2025, located at the Venetian Level 2, booth #V10747.

Schedule a time to meet with us to learn how we're helping solar companies reduce their asset's costs, losses, and risks.

Whether you're new or just want a refresher, we’re hosting a short, informative webinar to help you confidently navigate the platform.

RaptorCon 25, an annual executive conference, featured sessions led by Luminace, Clean Energy Services, Apex Clean Energy, Southern Power, and more.

This year summit focused on tackling the challenges we're collectively facing, where industry leaders and innovators shared their approach, strategies, and first-hand experiences to take on the Terawatt era.

RaptorCon 25 kicks off with a quick discussion on the industry today, the challenges we're collectively facing, innovations to overcome them, and to set the stage for this year's sessions.

Managing more than 1,800 PV systems spread across the country is no easy task, and doing it across multiple, disjointed systems is near impossible. Luminace’s forward-thinking data strategy drove consolidation and has built powerful data assets that enable both speed and scale.

Leading investors in the energy transition will discuss the evolving solar financing and M&A landscape and how they are incorporating learnings from the last decade’s rapid deployment of solar.

Solar surpassed the remarkable 2 terawatt (TW) global installation threshold in 2024, just 2 years after it reached 1 TW. As solar continues grow rapidly, what does the O&M of the Future look like in the Terawatt Era?

As fleets become gigawatt-scale and global solar installed capacity surpasses more than 2 terawatts, asset owners must future-proof their O&M programs to handle such volume more efficiently.

Wayne Bunting of Shoals Technologies and Mike Davey of Raptor Maps dive into the evolving world of solar inspections—from Wayne’s early days in the field to today’s use of drones and digital tools.

Explore the future of solar operations and maintenance in this session, with a specific focus on innovative technologies like digital twins, drones, robotics, and AI.

Learn how you can gain real-time visual intelligence (livestream) of anywhere on your solar assets, providing you with an objective source of ground truth to improve safety, time to resolution, and decision-making across the lifecycle of a solar project.

Previously titled “How to Supercharge Asset Oversight with Real-Time Visual Monitoring.” The same essential session — now with a sharper focus on what really matters: site-level truth you can see, instantly.

This webinar will cover the transition to the new Raptor Solar Mobile App. With the legacy app being deprecated on April 15, 2025, now is the time to make the switch. We'll walk you through the new app's improved performance, key features, and what you need to know for a smooth transition—so you can continue managing your solar assets with ease.

Managing stormwater runoff and soil erosion on solar projects can be challenging, especially as the size of both projects and portfolio become larger. Routine inspection and maintenance of structural best management practices (BMPs) are crucial to mitigating the risk of environmental damage, regulatory fines, and potential litigation costs. A robotics-led approach to erosion and SWPPP monitoring is a new process-based BMP that can help asset owners reduce the risk of non-compliance and the cost to be compliant. Watch our webinar to learn more.

Raptor Maps' team will be exhibiting at RE+ 2024, September 9-12th!

Stop by Hall C, booth #36068 to learn how we're helping solar companies build, manage, and operate more solar scalably. Stop by to learn about our new solutions and case studies & learnings from our work with leading IPPs and O&M providers.

According to a recent industry survey, nearly 60% of solar projects in the past 5 years faced significant delays, costing an average of $200K per MW capacity. How do you prevent project delays, confirm operational readiness for timely handoff, and mitigate financial risks such as liquidated damages?

Validating construction progress can be time-intensive and costly, which makes scaling such efforts difficult. Join us for the next installation of our monthly webinar series to learn how you can use autonomous drones that reside on-site throughout the life of a solar project to monitor and manage construction of your projects.

The rapid growth in solar and storage deployment in a labor constrained environment has created challenges for assets owners as they scale their operations. With more assets to manage, owners and operators must prioritize safety and efficiency while keeping Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs under control.

Industry leaders are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence-based solutions to identify potential issues at-scale long before they become serious safety concerns.

Join experts from Raptor Maps and ACCURE Battery Intelligence on July 24th for a live discussion on the role of AI in managing the health, performance, and safety of solar and storage assets.

How do you separate signal from noise to make sure you are responding effectively to issues on your solar farms?

Watch the webinar for a discussion on how autonomous “docked” drones (“drone-in-a-box”) that live on the solar farm provide owners and operators a powerful toolkit for remote monitoring and inspections in response to alerts, storms, and other anomalous events.
