What SkyVisor does

SkyVisor is a Paris-based software company founded in 2018 that builds drone-based inspection and asset management platforms for the renewable energy sector, specifically wind and solar assets. Its product suite comprises DroneApp (100% automatic flight planning tailored to specific wind turbine models and solar plant geometries), FieldApp (on-site mobile application for defect annotation), WebApp (unified web-based asset management), AI Analytics (computer vision and anomaly detection for defect identification), and SkyVisor ID (a module-level Digital Twin for photovoltaic farms launched in March 2026). The platform is designed so that a single drone with combined thermal and visual sensors can be used to inspect both wind and solar assets, replacing separate tooling stacks.

The company operates a software-plus-hardware subscription model with tiered pricing (Light, Pro, Expert, plus a Custom Solar Construction tier), sold primarily through a sales-led motion to enterprise renewable operators. It serves five horizontal customer segments — Independent Power Producers, Independent Service Providers, Original Equipment Manufacturers, Engineering/Procureption/Construction firms, and Developers/Financers — with named enterprise customers including EDF, RWE, Engie Green, Voltalia, ENBW, Photosol, Reden Solar, BELECTRIC, WPO, Fraunhofer, and Boralex. Operations span 30+ countries with stated focus on European and North American expansion, supported by a reseller partner program, multi-language website (EN-US, FR, DE, ES), and presence at industry events such as WindEurope Madrid 2026.

In January 2025, SkyVisor closed a €1.2 million funding round led by Tomcat with participation from BPIfrance and Région Île-de-France, with proceeds earmarked for international expansion, product development, and reinforcement of market position in Europe and North America. The company remains privately held with a headcount of 11–50 employees, indicating an early-to-growth-stage profile despite a seven-year operating history.

Products and services

• DroneApp (Automatic Flight Planning) 100% automatic flight planning application that generates tailored flight plans for wind turbines (considering precise turbine models) and solar plants (considering shape and elevation), enabling automated drone inspections for renewable energy operators and service providers.
• WebApp (Asset Management Platform) Web-based asset management platform that consolidates inspection data from both wind and solar assets into a single interface, allowing renewable energy teams to manage, review, and process drone inspection results.
• FieldApp (On-Site Mobile Application) Mobile application for on-site field collaboration and defect annotation during drone inspections of wind and solar assets, redesigned in June 2026 with a faster, more intuitive mobile experience for solar inspections.
• AI Analytics AI-powered analytics engine that detects defects in wind turbine blades, towers, and solar panels using computer vision on visual and thermal imagery, reducing analysis time from hours to minutes for renewable energy operators.
• SkyVisor ID (Digital Twin Identification) Module-level digital-twin identification system for photovoltaic farms that brings precision to asset identification and management, supporting accurate defect-to-asset mapping across solar portfolios.
• Wind Blade Inspection Automated drone-based inspection service for wind turbine blades, providing blade health monitoring and AI-driven defect detection for wind farm operators and ISPs.
• Wind Tower Inspection Automated drone-based inspection solution for wind turbine towers, focused on detecting structural corrosion and supporting predictive maintenance for wind operators.
• Wind LPS (Lightning Protection System) Inspection Drone-based inspection of wind turbine lightning protection systems, detecting faults and ensuring safety compliance for wind farm operators.
• Solar Thermography Inspection Automated drone-based thermography inspection service for solar PV plants, using thermal sensors and AI analytics to maximize energy production by identifying underperforming modules for IPPs and ISPs.
• Solar Construction Inspection Drone-based inspection and progress monitoring solution for solar PV park construction projects, used by EPC contractors to save project management time, ensure on-time and on-budget delivery, and minimize execution risks.
• Solar Rooftop Inspection Drone-based inspection service for rooftop PV installations up to 700 kW, supporting IPPs and service providers with fast thermal and visual inspection of distributed solar assets.
