Solar & energy
Keep solar site documentation in one project.
Solar work produces site imagery, mapping, thermal stills, reports, and supporting files that are easy to scatter. SpearAtlas holds that documentation in one project for developers, O&M teams, and clients. It does not diagnose modules or run thermal analytics.

The delivery problem
The array is one site. The files usually are not.
A solar inspection or mapping visit may yield RGB stills, thermal JPEGs, an ortho of the field or roof, a PDF of observations, and a spreadsheet of string notes. Those often leave as a photo album, a separate thermal folder, and an emailed report.
On the next visit the new files start another folder. The plant’s visual history never quite lives in one place the client can open.
SpearAtlas treats thermal frames as ordinary imagery when you upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP. It does not detect hotspots, grade modules, or replace your I-V or thermal analysis software. It keeps the documentation together.
- RGB and thermal stills in different galleries
- Reports that do not sit with the photos they cite
- Repeat O&M visits that never share a project
- Maps of the array detached from the inspection record
How SpearAtlas fits
Documentation for the site, not a diagnosis engine
Upload RGB and thermal stills to Images, the site ortho to Maps, video if you recorded a pass, and PDFs plus spreadsheets to reports and supporting files. Repeat visits update the same project.
Share the project with the asset owner or EPC. They can see the current documentation. Analysis and warranty decisions stay in the tools and people responsible for them.
Capture / process
Your drone, scanner, photogrammetry, or reconstruction software produces the files. SpearAtlas is not in this step.
Step 1 of 4Organize in SpearAtlas
Upload the outputs into Mission Hub rooms so maps, models, media, and documents sit on the same project.
Step 2 of 4Deliver
Preview the client experience, then share one project link instead of a chain of folders.
Step 3 of 4Client views
Recipients review supported files in the browser, with the project context still attached.
Step 4 of 4

Formats this workflow typically brings in
Solar documentation in SpearAtlas is file delivery and viewing—not analytics. Thermal captures are hosted as standard imagery formats.
- JPEG / PNG / WebPInspection photos, progress stills, and supporting imagery.
- GeoTIFF / TIFFOrthomosaic map rooms for hosted GeoTIFF review.
- MP4Hosted project and progress video in a dedicated room.
- PDFReports and plan PDFs delivered with the same project.
- CSVTables and field notes kept with supporting files.
- DOC / DOCXWritten reports and scope notes in supporting files.
- XLS / XLSXSpreadsheets attached to the same mission workspace.
- OBJPhotogrammetry meshes in the 3D Space room.
- GLB / GLTFTextured 3D models for site and structure review.

Capabilities that apply here
RGB and thermal stills as imagery
Host JPEG, PNG, or WebP stills—including thermal frames exported as ordinary images. SpearAtlas does not interpret temperature.
RGB and thermal stills as imagery in SpearAtlas →Array or roof context maps
When you produce a GeoTIFF of the site, keep it with the inspection photos so reviewers can locate strings and rows.
Array or roof context maps in SpearAtlas →O&M and inspection reports
Keep the written findings with the visuals they refer to, plus CSV or XLSX string lists in supporting files.
O&M and inspection reports in SpearAtlas →Repeat visits on the same project
Add the next quarter’s stills and report to the existing job instead of minting a new share folder each time.
Repeat visits on the same project in SpearAtlas →Site-pass video when you have it
Host an MP4 of the flight or walkdown next to the stills and map.
Site-pass video when you have it in SpearAtlas →Client and O&M handoff
One project link for the owner or site team. Read-only review of the documentation package.

A typical project
A typical solar documentation visit
Quarterly O&M on a ground-mount site. You have RGB stills, thermal JPEGs from the same flight, a current ortho, a PDF of observations, and a spreadsheet of string IDs.
Fly and analyze elsewhere
Capture RGB and thermal with your aircraft and cameras. Run any hotspot or performance analysis in the software you already use. SpearAtlas does not do that analysis.
File the documentation
Upload stills (including thermal JPEGs) to Images, the ortho to Maps, the PDF to reports, and the spreadsheet to supporting files on the existing plant project.
Label for the next visit
Title rooms by date or quarter so the owner can tell this visit from the last without opening every file.
Share the plant project
The owner uses the same link as last quarter. They see current imagery and the report; they do not get a diagnosis from SpearAtlas.
Get started
Give the next solar visit a project to land in.
Keep site imagery, maps, reports, and supporting files together—across inspections and repeat O&M—without turning SpearAtlas into an analytics tool.
