87% cheaper than manual inspection.

Complete site inspections with AI-assisted detection and expert solar veteran review on every finding

From capture to correction, in four steps.

The same framework runs on every project, whether it’s a residential rooftop or a 3,600-acre utility-scale site.

1

Capture

Multi-angle imagery, 3D point clouds, and high-resolution orthomosaics capture every corner of the site, not just what inspectors can see on foot.

2

Detect

AI scans every frame for what ground-level site inspections miss: erosion between rows, wetland creep, plan deviations, layout drift.

3

Validate

A solar-industry expert reviews every flag before it reaches you. Technology finds the anomaly. A person confirms it’s real.

4

Report & Route

One plain-language report for the people who need the story. One CAD-ready file set for the people who need the data.

The real cost isn't the issue you find. It's the issue you miss.

Traditional inspection

Pictures and descriptions. Little context, little decision support.

bluInspector

Multiple views. Exact measurements. Answers, not just images.

Cover every phase of the project.

Pre-NTP

– Assess topographic and environmental risk before you commit

– Identify conditions that could make a site unwinnable

– Support Phase 1 ESA and ALTA-stamping

Pre-Inspection / AHJ Readiness

– Catch the common causes of AHJ rejection: trenching, grounding, layout

– Verify completed work matches the approved plans

Development / Construction

– Verify milestones objectively

– Monitor subcontractors without being onsite daily

– Detect safety hazards and schedule risk early

Asset Management

– Monitor vegetation, drainage, and erosion over time

– Document storm damage for insurance

– Build the record for asset sale due diligence

What manual site inspection methods don't catch

Documented findings from real bluInspector project reports, with estimated early-detection savings.

Erosion between panel rows

Soil sliding into an adjacent holding pond, invisible from the ground, caught while the repair was still manageable.

Est. savings: $25,000
Wetland intrusions

Two boundary violations in an active construction area, identified and mapped before regulators got involved.

Est. savings: $25,000-$75,000
Plan deviation

PV array sections conflicting with the planned fence line, caught before the fence subcontractor mobilized.

Est. savings: $25,000-$50,000
DC feeder routing conflicts

Two feeder runs in conflict with the array and surface obstructions, caught before trenching began.

Est. savings: $50,000-$100,000 / run
Improper trench compaction

Subsurface settlement detected while the subcontractor was still on-site and the fix was still simple.

Est. savings: $25,000-$75,000
Unmodeled shading

~2,650 sq ft of shading caught before commissioning and before the production baseline was set.

Est. savings: $25,000-$75,000

Same deliverables.

Higher quality.

A fraction of the time and cost.

Built for whoever's holding the risk.

Create point clouds for CAD and civil work in minutes, not weeks.

Save 2–4 weeks on pre-NTP land analysis: topography, layout, problem conditions.

Smoother asset sales with historical, time-stamped project data.

Reduce development fee “shaving” through continual milestone verification.

Continuous progress monitoring against design, near real-time.

Objective milestone and change-order verification, no guesswork.

Subcontractor monitoring without a daily site visit.

Adaptive forecasting of mechanical completion based on progress to date.

Owner / Principal

Margin protected on every job, lower truck-roll costs, defensible warranty records.

Project Manager

Verified progress without leaving the office, billing-draw documentation ready on demand.

Field Foreman

Punch lists with photos already attached, sub issues caught while still fixable.

GC / Building Owner

Real-time visibility into the install and confidence that what’s billed is what’s built.

Questions we hear on almost every call.

Working fine doesn’t mean working efficiently. bluInspector reduces the time and cost of inspections while helping catch issues that manual methods can miss. More complete coverage means fewer surprises, less rework, and more of your project margin protected.

Those tools solve the capture problem, not the linkage problem. Ask yourself: how does that inspection record connect to the project in NetSuite? bluInspector puts the record on the project itself, not in a separate app someone has to remember to export.

bluInspector is built for field use: offline capable, photo capture with automatic upload, simple required-field checklists. It replaces friction, paper forms and emailed photos. It doesn’t add more.

Not only does bluInspector cost less than the manual inspection methods you already pay for, saving you money instantly, but a single rework event on a commercial job typically costs more than a full year of bluInspector. Ask what your last documentation failure cost. Most operators can name a number.

bluInspector is a standalone service. You get enforced checklists, timestamped photos, and audit-ready records, regardless of your back-end system.

Integrating with NetSuite adds project-level context and connects inspection findings to your broader operations, which adds even greater value, but it isn’t a prerequisite.
