Buzz Solutions has expanded its PowerAI platform to support utility-scale solar inspections, addressing the growing challenge of managing vast installations with millions of panels. The AI software analyses drone-collected RGB and thermal imagery to detect defects across photovoltaic panels, connectors, combiner boxes and inverters. The platform automates visual analysis of large inspection datasets, identifying thermal anomalies and equipment issues such as cracked panels, soiling and vegetation encroachment. Results integrate directly into GIS and asset management systems, enabling utilities to prioritise maintenance and improve asset performance. The Palo Alto-based company's expansion builds on its existing visual AI platform used across transmission, distribution and substation infrastructure. Early deployments have demonstrated reduced manual review times and accelerated inspection timelines across large-scale infrastructure programmes.
