O&M managers
Need audit findings turned into work and tracked to closure across every site.
Energy / Wind and Solar Asset Audits
Wind turbine inspection software and solar plant audit automation
Renewable O&M teams collect audit data from remote sites, OEM reports in different formats and updates sent over chat. Agnotic Technologies builds wind turbine inspection software and solar plant audit automation that brings it into one audit record per asset, works offline at the site and turns findings into work orders.
Offline at site
Audits with no coverage

Industry Overview
What is wind and solar asset audit automation?
Wind and solar asset audit automation is software that plans audits for each turbine, inverter and array, captures checklist answers, photos and drone images offline at the site, imports OEM reports and records every finding against the asset. Agnotic Technologies builds this wind turbine inspection software so findings reach the work order system and the portfolio report.
Who it is for
Who relies on renewable asset audits?
The same finding is used by several teams, each in its own way.
Site technicians
Complete checklists at the turbine or array, often with no mobile signal.
Asset managers and owners
Want a consistent condition picture across sites, OEMs and contractors.
Drone and inspection contractors
Deliver blade and module images that must land against the right asset.
Industry Challenges
Why are renewable audits hard to keep together?
The data exists. It arrives from too many places in too many formats.
Each OEM sends service and inspection reports in its own Excel or CSV layout.
Site updates arrive as chat messages and photos, and someone retypes them into a tracker.
Audit data is entered by hand, with no direct link to the SCADA or monitoring system.
Remote sites have little or no internet, so online tools fail at the asset.
Audit checklists are on paper, and findings are hard to compare between sites and years.
A finding from a drone survey and the same issue reported by a technician become two separate records.
Audit map
What does an audit cover on each wind and solar asset?
Our starting map for a renewable audit project. Your OEMs, contracts and procedures set the final checklist.
| Asset | Typical audit items | How it is captured | What the finding feeds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wind turbine blades | Leading edge erosion, cracks, lightning damage | Drone survey or rope access photos, tagged by blade and position | Blade repair work order and comparison with the last survey |
| Nacelle and drivetrain | Oil leaks, bolt condition, gearbox and generator checks | Technician checklist with photos, offline in the nacelle | Work order and OEM service record |
| Tower and foundation | Corrosion, bolt tension records, cracks at the base | Checklist and handheld photos at the tower | Structural finding log and work order |
| Solar PV modules | Cracked glass, soiling, hot spots, damaged cables | Drone visual and thermal flights, tagged by block and string | Module replacement or cleaning work order |
| Inverters and combiner boxes | Fault codes, ventilation, cabinet condition | Checklist with OEM fault log import | Work order and OEM warranty case |
| Trackers and mounting | Alignment, fasteners, corrosion, motor faults | Walk-down checklist with photos per row | Work order against the row |
Our Approach
How does solar plant audit automation bring the data together?
Three decisions shape the build, and we make them with your O&M team first.
One asset register for every source
Turbines, blades, inverters, blocks and strings get one ID, so OEM files, drone images and technician checklists all land on the same asset.
Offline at the asset
Checklists, previous findings and asset details are on the device before the technician drives out, and sync when the site has coverage again.
Import, do not retype
Each OEM's Excel or CSV layout is mapped once, then imported and checked automatically, so no one copies reports by hand.
Capabilities
What do we build for wind and solar audits?
Modules that follow one finding from the site to a closed work order.
Audit planning
Audit schedules per site, asset type and contract, with the checklist each audit needs.
Offline audit app
Checklists, photos and signatures on rugged tablets that work in the nacelle and across the array without coverage.
OEM report import
Excel and CSV reports from each OEM mapped to the asset register and checked for missing or mismatched assets.
Drone image intake
Blade and module images tagged to the turbine, blade, block or string, with thermal and visual images paired.
Finding register
Every finding with its asset, severity, evidence and status, deduplicated across sources.
Work order output
Confirmed findings become work orders in your CMMS, and status comes back when they close.
Portfolio reporting
Open findings, overdue audits and repeat issues compared across sites and OEMs.
AI-assisted review
Models that flag likely defects in drone images and read scanned reports, with a person confirming each one.
How It Works
How does one audit finding reach a work order?
The flow we build for each site. Every source ends in the same finding register.

Technicians complete checklists offline, and drone contractors upload tagged images.
02
2
Import
OEM reports are imported and matched to the asset register.
03
3
Review
Findings from all sources are deduplicated and confirmed by an engineer.
04
4
Act
Confirmed findings become work orders, and warranty items go to the OEM.
05
5
Report
Portfolio dashboards show open findings and audit status across every site.

Measured Impact
What should a renewable audit program measure?
Measures that show whether audits lead to repairs, not just reports.
Audits on time
Done when scheduled
By site, asset type and contractor.
Open findings
Waiting for action
By severity and age, across the portfolio.
Finding to work order
Time to action
From a confirmed finding to a scheduled job.

Facts and sources
Which rules shape wind and solar audits?
Drone flight rules that shape blade and array surveys, and the safety standard for generation sites.
Under FAA Part 107, a small drone may fly higher than 400 feet above ground level only when it stays within a 400-foot radius of a structure and no higher than 400 feet above the structure's uppermost limit.
Source: 14 CFR 107.51(b), FAA (eCFR)FAA Part 107 requires the remote pilot in command, the visual observer if one is used, and the person at the controls to be able to see the small drone with unaided vision throughout the entire flight.
Source: 14 CFR 107.31, FAA (eCFR)OSHA's standard for electric power generation, transmission and distribution covers the operation and maintenance of power generation installations, including equivalent installations at industrial establishments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The checklists, asset details and previous findings are downloaded before the visit, and everything captured at the turbine or array is saved on the device. It syncs once the technician is back in coverage.
Yes. We map each OEM's Excel or CSV layout to your asset register once, then import new reports automatically and flag rows that do not match a known asset.
It is not required. Many teams start with SCADA or monitoring exports, and we add a direct interface later where the site and the OEM allow it.
Yes. Images are tagged to the turbine, blade and position, or to the solar block and string, on upload, so a finding from a drone survey lands on the same asset record as the technician's checklist.
Predictive maintenance uses telemetry to forecast failures. Audit automation records what people and drones actually find on site and makes sure it is acted on. The two work best together, with audit findings confirming what the models predict.
The number of sites and asset types, the OEM report formats to import, whether drone imagery and AI review are in scope, and the CMMS integration. We explain these drivers on the scoping call instead of quoting a fixed price.
