Unleash live helps solar energy operators reduce inspection costs, detect panel and component faults before they impact energy output, and eliminate the operational risk of manual inspection workflows.
Orb is the product offered by Unleash live to manage and govern the full solar PV inspection program, from autonomous drone mission planning and structured thermal and visual media capture through to AI-powered fault detection, condition assessment, and direct integration with asset management and O&M systems. Operators using Orb detect faults across 15 solar panel and component fault classes, with a 93% accurate fault class detection rate.
Solar energy operators face an inspection challenge that grows with every megawatt commissioned: more panels, more sites, more O&M complexity, and greater financial exposure when faults go undetected. Manual inspection workflows including ground-based walkovers, rope-access, and helicopter overflights are slow, labour-intensive, and produce inconsistent data that is difficult to act on at portfolio scale.
Orb replaces manual solar PV inspection workflows with a governed, repeatable, and auditable inspection program, from autonomous drone mission planning and structured thermal and visual capture, through automated fault detection and condition assessment, to direct integration with the asset management and O&M systems your operations teams already use.
Governed inspection programs across solar portfolios
The mission planning and autonomous flight capabilities in Unleash live Orb are configured to the specific requirements of solar PV inspection, accounting for array geometry, panel model, row spacing, image overlap requirements, resolution targets, and environmental and airspace constraints. Inspection profiles are standardized by asset type and array configuration, ensuring repeatable data quality across panels, sites, and inspection cycles year-on-year. Fleet-level orchestration supports multi-site inspection programs across distributed solar portfolios and geographically dispersed drone teams, enabling consistent inspection standards across the full portfolio without manual coordination at each site.
Thermographic and visual fault detection across 15 fault classes
Cortex, Unleash live computer vision intelligence engine, analyses both thermal and visual imagery to detect faults and condition changes across solar PV assets delivering a 93% accurate fault class detection rate across 15 solar panel and component fault classes. Thermographic analysis identifies hotspots, diode failures, and string disconnects that are invisible to visual inspection alone. Visual analysis detects soiling, shadowing, surface cracking, and vegetation encroachment.
Detection results are structured and aligned to O&M workflows, giving asset management teams the specific, prioritized intelligence required to schedule maintenance intervention before faults degrade energy output.
A structured audit trail for inspection compliance and asset management
Every Orb inspection program produces a complete, traceable inspection record, from mission configuration through capture to detection output and maintenance action. Standardized capture profiles, version-controlled model outputs, and structured condition reports give asset management and compliance functions the documentation required to demonstrate inspection governance across the full solar portfolio, supporting ongoing O&M program management and long-term asset health tracking.
From fault detection to maintenance action without manual data transfer
Orb integrates via APIs with asset management, work scheduling, and reporting systems including SAP, Maximo, and PowerBI, routing fault detections, condition assessments, and inspection records directly into existing O&M workflows. Inspection findings trigger work orders and asset register updates without manual data entry, reducing the time from fault detection to maintenance scheduling and eliminating duplicate reporting across the portfolio.
Highlights
Reduce inspection costs and inspect more capacity per team per day. Orb's autonomous mission planning and drone capture programs deliver 3X faster inspection data collection and reporting compared to manual inspection methods, reducing the cost per MW inspected and enabling asset management teams to cover significantly more solar capacity per inspection cycle without increasing personnel or equipment resources
93% accurate fault detection across 15 solar panel and component fault classes. Cortex analyses thermal and visual imagery to detect faults across 15 solar PV fault classes including hotspots, diode failures, string disconnects, soiling, shadowing, and vegetation encroachment with a 93% accurate fault class detection rate. Proactive fault identification reduces undetected energy losses and enables maintenance teams to prioritize intervention before faults degrade output
Inspection findings routed directly into your existing workflows. Orb integrates via APIs with asset management, work scheduling and reporting systems, routing fault detections, condition assessments, and inspection records directly into existing O&M and asset management workflows. Data is stored on AWS infrastructure with regional deployment options to meet data sovereignty requirements. Inspection outcomes trigger work orders without manual data transfer, reducing time from detection to action
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You buy four separate units, each covering a different part of the inspection program. Processing Bucket units are prepaid credits you draw down over 12 months for compute usage. The Enterprise License is an annual subscription tied to a contract with user, device, and usage caps under fair use terms. The Autofly App License is priced per installed app connecting a secure drone feed. The AI App License is an annual fee per computer vision app. These dimensions stack rather than tier, so you combine them to match your deployment, connected devices, and models.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one Autofly App License cover, and how do I count how many I need?
Each Autofly App License covers one installed Autofly app that connects a single drone feed over a private, secure link. You buy one license per installed app. If you run flights across several sites or drone feeds, you add a license for each installed app.
How do Processing Bucket credits behave as I use them, and what happens after 12 months?
You buy Processing Credits upfront and draw them down as you consume compute for capture, analysis, and detection. They apply within a 12-month window. Usage reduces your balance over time. Credits are tied to that 12-month period, so plan purchases to match expected processing volume.
How do the four units combine on one bill, and which one drives most of the cost?
The four units bill independently and add together. The Enterprise License sets your subscription with user, device, and usage caps. Processing Buckets cover compute you consume. Autofly App and AI App Licenses add per installed app. Processing and app counts scale with fleet size and models deployed.
