A LinkedIn post from Raptor Maps highlights the release of its 2026 Global Solar Report, based on analysis of more than 373 GWdc of data. The company’s commentary suggests the report broadens its traditional focus on aerial thermography to cover direct current performance, evolving risk profiles, and shifting operational practices in the solar sector.

According to the post, the report addresses how solar performance has changed over time, the operational and risk implications of robotics, and how different risk types are reflected in insurance claims. It also points to new analysis on automation, substations, and fire risk, alongside a guest contribution from kWh Analytics on attritional losses.
For investors, the report’s emphasis on benchmarking performance and risk management may position Raptor Maps as a data and analytics provider embedded in key solar asset workflows. If widely adopted by asset owners, operators, and insurers, such benchmarking could deepen the company’s role in asset optimization and potentially support recurring software and analytics revenue.
The focus on robotics and automation indicates that Raptor Maps is targeting emerging pain points as solar portfolios scale and operational complexity rises. This could enhance its relevance to utility-scale owners and O&M providers, and may strengthen its competitive position in the broader solar asset management and performance analytics market.
