Production-Ready.
SkyMetrics Core is built for enterprise utility-scale solar — backed by rigorous automated testing, zero TypeScript errors, and an end-to-end cloud pipeline combining Vision AI, PostGIS spatial indexing, and Google Cloud infrastructure.
Radiometric Fault & Delta Detection
Analyzes raw thermal frames to extract pixel-level temperature readings and classify core anomalies — broken diodes, dead cells, soiling, and string disconnections — complete with calibrated ΔT severity scoring.

Sub-Meter GPS Anomaly Mapping
Every anomaly is persisted with precise WGS-84 GPS coordinates in a PostGIS spatial database. Interactive Leaflet maps allow field O&M technicians to navigate directly to damaged modules via spatial bounding queries.

Async Ingestion
Direct Ingestion. AI Analytics.
Instant Reports.
Stream raw radiometric drone imagery into actionable intelligence — from cloud upload to sub-meter GPS mapping and executive PDF reporting in minutes.
Batch upload up to 100 radiometric images or ZIP
1. Direct Cloud Storage Ingestion
Upload radiometric drone imagery directly from your flight operations. Drop individual radiometric JPG/TIFF files or single ZIP archives exported from FLIR or DJI Thermal software. Files stream securely to Google Cloud Storage via signed URLs, keeping backend memory completely neutral.
- Drag-and-drop or batch file picker
- Up to 100 radiometric images or 1 ZIP archive per run
- Direct-to-GCS signed URL streaming
- Isolated per-file error handling
Asynchronous processing via Google Cloud Tasks
2. Vision AI Radiometric Extraction
The API acknowledges uploads with an instant 202 Accepted. Google Cloud Tasks dispatches the batch asynchronously, calling Anthropic Vision AI to extract pixel-level temperature data, calculate deltas (ΔT), and classify structural anomalies into structured JSON payloads.
- Anthropic Vision AI model execution
- Detects: broken_diode, dead_cell, soiling, disconnection
- Calibrated severity: Low / Medium / Critical
- ΔT > 15°C auto-flagged (IEC 62446-3 standard)
Sub-meter map + executive PDF + webhooks
3. GIS Mapping, PDF Reports & Webhooks
Extracted data is indexed in PostGIS and rendered on an interactive Leaflet map with module-level GPS pins. An executive PDF report is compiled instantly, while severe thermal hot spots fire automated webhook notifications.
- Interactive Leaflet GPS map with spatial filters
- PostGIS GiST spatial indexing (WGS-84)
- Executive PDF report generated automatically
- Real-time webhook dispatch for critical anomalies
