Pros & Cons
Raptor Maps
Pros
- Built only for solar, so defect detection and reporting are tailored to PV modules and balance-of-system equipment.
- Solar Sentry autonomous drones can launch missions from SCADA alerts or after storms without anyone travelling to the site.
- The mobile app works offline, which helps technicians at remote solar sites with poor signal.
- An OAuth-based API exposes farms, inspections and anomalies for use in other systems.
- Well funded, with a $35M Series C in late 2024 from Maverix and existing investors.
Cons
- No public pricing; every purchase goes through a demo and sales.
- Limited to solar PV and unsuitable for other asset types.
- Almost no independent user reviews on G2 or SourceForge.
- No published security certifications such as SOC 2 were found.
SenseHawk
Pros
- Therm turns drone infrared scans into classified defects with power-loss estimates and IEC 62446-3 reports.
- Planned versus actual progress tracking can use imported Primavera P6 and MS Project schedules.
- The mobile app works offline and lets field crews close geotagged inspections and punch items.
- Security includes AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, SAML SSO and fine-grained role-based access.
Cons
- No public pricing, so every quote requires a sales conversation.
- Built almost entirely for solar and storage, so it is a poor fit for other industrial assets.
- Very few independent reviews: G2 lists only about two reviews for SenseHawk.
- Ownership is unclear: Reliance took a majority stake in 2022, and Nextracker acquired SenseHawk IP in 2024.
