What We Do
See What the Naked Eye Can't
Thermal imaging reveals heat anomalies invisible to standard cameras — hotspot solar cells, roof moisture intrusion, HVAC failures, powerline conductor issues, and building envelope heat loss. Amped Aerial's drone-mounted thermal sensors capture radiometric data across large areas quickly and safely, without scaffolding, shutdowns, or manual access.
We specialize in solar PV inspections for rooftop and utility-scale installations, delivering panel-level anomaly reports with GPS coordinates, temperature differentials, and defect classification. Our thermal data is processed in DroneDeploy and cloud-based inspection platforms, giving you a clear, actionable report your maintenance team can use immediately.
Beyond solar, we serve commercial property owners, facility managers, utilities, and insurance professionals who need accurate thermal data for building energy audits, infrastructure condition assessments, and loss documentation.
