Sitemark
Asset management and inspection platform for solar and renewable energy plants
Sitemark centralizes solar plant data from construction through operation onto a single platform: drone inspection scheduling, defect tracking, work order dispatch, and power generation performance monitoring. It gives asset owners complete visibility into the status and maintenance progress of every module. Developed by a team based in Belgium.
Features and Use Cases
During the construction phase, aerial drone footage tracks build progress and quality, while as-built data is compared against designs during commissioning. For operations and maintenance (O&M), regular thermal imaging inspections identify faulty modules, automatically converting defects into work orders dispatched to maintenance contractors, followed by re-flight verification after repairs. The platform emphasizes closing the loop between inspection and repair, ensuring reports don't just sit in a folder.
Ideal for solar asset owners, EPC contractors, and O&M teams. Because distributed solar sites and rooftop installations present higher-than-expected asset management complexities, this asset-centric management approach is exceptionally valuable.

Editor's Note
The most common issue with solar sites is generating great inspection reports that nobody acts on. A system that seamlessly bridges inspections with actionable work orders is what truly drives value.
FAQ
Is it suitable for small rooftop installations?
Technically yes, but the platform's true value lies in scale—the more sites you manage and the more dispersed they are, the greater the efficiency of centralized management. A single small site may only require a spreadsheet.
Do I need to own drones?
Not necessarily. You can partner with local drone service providers to execute flights and upload the data. The platform focuses on analytics and management rather than flight operations.
