Raptor Maps, a Boston-based company, raised $35 million in Series C funding led by Maverix Private Equity, with participation from existing investors. The funds will be used to enhance product development in solar automation, work management, and machine-learning insights, and to expand their team in software engineering and data science.

Raptor Maps has released the sixth edition of its Global Solar Report, featuring data this year that it says demonstrates the underperformance of solar assets.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raptor Maps, the leading provider of solar asset health management software, announced that Luminace is deploying a groundbreaking advancement in Commercial and Industrial (CI) solar operations with Raptor Maps’ Instant Inspections. The AI-driven offering enables the detection of high-priority thermal anomalies 99% faster than conventional solar aerial inspections. Luminace, a Brookfield company with a distributed generation portfolio spanning more than 1,400 MW across over 1,400 sites, rigorously tested and validated the AI-powered solution across multiple sites (rooftop, carport, and ground-mount). With Instant Inspections, Luminace technicians can collect aerial inspection data, receive results, and remediate high-priority issues on the same day. The Raptor Maps software underpinning Instant Inspections leverages geospatial models to achieve a level of precision that eliminates redundant truck rolls by making aerial data collection and remediation processes a single event, optimizing technician activities for Luminace. “We are excited to collaborate with Raptor Maps as we strive to serve customers with safe, cost-effective, and reliable distributed energy assets,” said Luminace COO Elizabeth Brennan
