Maximize Asset Performance, Minimize Downtime
Hidden blade damage and panel defects cost you generation revenue daily. Our precision inspections and digital twins identify issues early, so you can fix them before they become failures.
Renewable Energy Reality Capture
Vertisend delivers the precise digital intelligence renewable energy developers, operators, and O&M teams need to construct, maintain, and optimize clean energy assets. Our engineering-grade reality capture and Ark Strategic processing platform transform wind farms, solar installations, and energy storage facilities into actionable digital twins for engineering, maintenance, and performance optimization.
Challenges We Solve
Common obstacles facing renewable energy teams
Turbine Inspection Complexity
Wind turbine inspections require expensive rope access or crane operations, with limited visibility and documentation quality.
Solution: Drone-based blade and tower inspection provides comprehensive documentation from all angles without costly climbing operations or production downtime.
Solar Panel Performance Issues
Identifying underperforming panels across large solar arrays is time-consuming with ground-based inspection methods.
Solution: Thermal and visual imaging rapidly identifies panel defects, soiling patterns, and performance issues across entire installations.
Construction Progress Uncertainty
Large-scale renewable projects require accurate progress tracking to meet COD deadlines and manage contractor performance.
Solution: Regular reality capture provides objective construction progress documentation, earthwork verification, and as-built records.
Incomplete As-Built Documentation
Post-construction documentation gaps create challenges for O&M teams and complicate warranty claims and insurance matters.
Solution: Comprehensive as-built digital twins capture complete installation details for long-term asset management and documentation needs.

Renewables FAQ
Common questions about renewable energy reality capture
Yes. We capture during operation with safe flight planning. Brief pauses may be coordinated for detailed blade inspection.
Hot spots, bypass diode failures, cell cracks, snail trails, delamination, and soiling patterns affecting performance.
A typical 100MW installation takes one to two days. Processing timelines are confirmed during project scoping.
Complete analysis with defect identification, severity classification, and georeferenced reporting. Not just raw imagery.
Yes. Our documentation provides damage location, extent, and measurement data that manufacturers and insurers require.
Optimized multi-turbine campaigns coordinate logistics and processing to minimize per-turbine costs across portfolios.
