Solar Inspection Software Pricing

MapperX solar inspection software pricing scales according to annual analysis capacity. The pricing table above shows current package prices, included MW capacity and the effective cost per MW. Unlike site-based subscriptions, MapperX uses credits that remain valid for 12 months and can be allocated across multiple plants, customers and inspection projects. Smaller packages suit occasional inspections or teams testing the workflow. Higher-capacity packages are designed for service providers, O&M teams and asset owners managing repeated surveys or larger portfolios. The effective analysis cost decreases as package capacity increases. If annual demand exceeds the selected balance, additional credits can be purchased without changing the platform workflow. The relevant comparison is therefore not only the annual package price. Buyers should compare total MW capacity, expected inspection frequency, repeat-analysis needs and the operational work included in the software before choosing a package.

MapperX supports the analysis and reporting workflow that begins after thermal and RGB data have been collected. The platform brings image processing, AI-assisted anomaly detection and classification, map-based defect review, orthophoto generation, inspection records and report preparation into one working environment. The operational work does not end when the drone lands. Inspection teams still need to organize imagery, connect each detected anomaly with its physical location, assess technical significance, prioritize field interventions and create traceable outputs for customers or asset stakeholders. These steps determine whether captured data becomes an actionable inspection result. A useful solar inspection software comparison should therefore evaluate the complete workflow, including review, classification, reporting and plant management, rather than comparing only the initial package price. The pricing table above shows the available capacity options; the correct package depends on how much installed PV capacity your team expects to process during the credit validity period.

Estimate annual analysis capacity by adding the combined MW capacity of every plant you expect to inspect during the next 12 months. Then multiply where a plant will require more than one complete inspection or analysis cycle. Include scheduled annual surveys, targeted follow-up inspections after maintenance, newly commissioned plants and a reasonable allowance for unplanned re-analysis. The number of uploaded images is not the primary package-selection metric. Planning begins with the installed PV capacity to be analyzed and the expected inspection frequency. Image coverage and data quality remain technically important, but they do not replace capacity-based planning. The lowest-priced package is not automatically the most economical option. A smaller package may suit occasional work. A higher-capacity package may provide a lower effective cost per MW for organizations managing repeated inspections or larger portfolios. Choose the package closest to your realistic annual workload, then add more credits only if actual demand increases.

Yes. MapperX supports inspection and reporting workflows for outdoor PV thermography under IEC 62446-3. IEC 62446-3 does not certify AI. Reliable solar inspection analysis starts with suitable thermal and RGB source data. Flight altitude, ground sampling distance, thermal camera configuration, environmental conditions, thermal quality and image coverage all affect the diagnostic value of the results. Software cannot recover technical detail that was not captured during data acquisition. Before a flight, the inspection team should define the required level of detail, thermal and RGB data requirements, acquisition parameters and expected reporting outputs. This reduces avoidable rework and helps the selected credit capacity produce useful results. If this standard is part of the project scope, establish the acquisition protocol, analysis requirements and deliverables before selecting a package. Pricing determines available analysis capacity; it does not replace the technical planning needed for a valid inspection.
