What We Do
See What the Naked Eye Can't
Thermal imaging documents heat anomalies that may not appear in standard cameras — including solar-cell hotspots, roof moisture intrusion, HVAC issues, powerline conductor anomalies, and building-envelope heat loss. Amped Aerial's drone-mounted thermal sensors collect radiometric data across large areas without routine manual access to each inspection point.
We provide solar PV inspections for rooftop and utility-scale installations, with panel-level anomaly reports that can include GPS coordinates, temperature differentials, and defect classification. Thermal data can be processed in cloud-based inspection platforms for maintenance review and follow-up.
Thermal inspection supports condition assessment. We serve commercial property owners, facility managers, utilities, and insurance professionals who need thermal data for building energy audits, infrastructure condition assessments, and loss documentation. Licensed professionals interpret the data where a project or regulation requires it.
