The challenge

The operating reality

Re/volve needed a scalable way to diagnose array issues, coordinate stakeholders and preserve asset-history data as New Zealand solar projects grew beyond manual tracking.

The approach

What Above Surveying deployed

The consultancy combined Above's geotagged construction monitoring, regular aerial thermographic surveys and SolarGain repository for module condition, defects and long-term maintenance history.

The results

What changed

Thermography identified minor anomalies at the Foodstuffs array, while geotagged evidence at Auckland Airport Mall helped resolve site issues and mediate stakeholder disputes. Centralized records improved transparency and workflow efficiency.
