What we inspect
Assets where a thermal anomaly means a problem.
02
Cell & communication towers
Thermal + high-zoom visual, no climb: connection heating, corrosion, structural detail.
03
Utilities & power lines
Substations, transformers, conductors: overheating components found before they fail.
04
Rooftops & buildings
Flat-roof moisture surveys and building heat-loss scans.
05
Industrial sites
Process equipment, tanks, and mechanical systems where a thermal anomaly means a problem.
How it works
Three steps, no downtime.
STEP 01
We fly & capture
A methodical flight collecting defensible radiometric thermal + visual data, with the site running (no downtime).
STEP 02
You get organized findings
Geotagged imagery, anomaly locations, and a clean site overview your team can act on.
STEP 03
Certified analysis, if you need it
For a formal diagnosis we partner with a qualified thermographer or work with your engineers, so the sign-off carries the right credentials.
We’re expert data-acquisition specialists — the accountability for the diagnosis stays with a credentialed thermographer, which keeps your inspection sound.
Why SkyeCam
Hollywood standards, industrial application.
The right gear, already in the air
We build and fly professional thermal and cinema drones; the same radiometric rigs, matched to inspection.
Fast & non-disruptive
Acres of panels or a full tower scanned from the air in minutes: no scaffolding, no de-energizing, no all-day crew.
Hollywood-grade reliability
The standards that satisfy demanding productions, applied to your assets.

Site health
3 anomalies flagged across 412 modules — 0.7% of site, all in string 14.
Clean, defensible data — geotagged anomalies, site overview, ready for your engineering team.
Service area
Based in the Los Angeles area — inspecting across Southern California (LA, the Inland Empire, Antelope Valley, Ventura, San Diego) and traveling for solar and utility work across California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Pricing
Quoted per job or per portfolio: solar by capacity (per megawatt); towers, roofs, and industrial by the asset. Recurring inspection programs (annual, quarterly, post-storm) get portfolio pricing.
FAQ
Questions procurement asks.
Yes — thermal detects the heat differences that mark hot spots, dead cells, and loose connections, across a whole site far faster than a ground inspection.
We capture and deliver the thermal data; a qualified thermographer or your engineers own the certified diagnosis.
No — it’s done from the air with the system running. No downtime.
Yes — regularly across CA, AZ, and NV for solar and utility work.
