Raptor Maps Data Analysis Underscores Growing Solar Tracker Performance Risks

According to a recent LinkedIn post from Raptor Maps, the company has analyzed nearly 60 GW of advanced, non‑aerial thermography data from solar assets in 2025. The post notes that this dataset offers expanded visibility into a range of risks, including issues with high‑voltage equipment, wiring, and environmental conditions.

The post highlights that tracker malfunctions have emerged as a particularly significant concern in the firm’s analysis. Over the past five years, these malfunctions are described as driving an increasing share of power loss across a cumulative dataset of 373 GW of solar data.

For investors, the post suggests growing demand for data‑driven risk assessment and performance analytics in utility‑scale solar operations. If Raptor Maps can continue to translate its thermographic insights into actionable software and services, it could strengthen its competitive position in solar asset management and potentially support recurring revenue growth.

The emphasis on tracker failures also points to a broader industry trend in which mechanical reliability and operations and maintenance optimization are becoming critical to preserving energy yield. This may create opportunities for Raptor Maps to deepen partnerships with asset owners, O&M providers, and tracker manufacturers seeking to mitigate power losses and improve project returns.
