Independent Power Producer
WHAT.
Empowering long-term solar performance
Managing a solar portfolio across multiple sites and lifecycles is complex. Above’s digital ecosystem provides Independent Power Producers with the tools to simplify that oversight, combining aerial thermography, digital plant management, and quality assurance data into one clear view.
With Above, IPPs can:
Monitor construction quality and handover documentation.
Track asset performance across entire portfolios.
Detect issues early and prioritise maintenance actions.
Validate warranty and insurance claims with verifiable data.
Frustrations that we help you solve
Inconsistent data from EPCs and O&Ms
Above’s independent reporting creates a trusted, standardised view of every site’s condition and performance.
All inspections are timestamped and geolocated, providing independent, verifiable evidence that simplifies claim processes.
Difficulty validating warranty and insurance claims
Limited portfolio visibility
Above brings all asset data into one digital platform, allowing IPPs to view performance and condition across multiple sites in real time.
Reactive and high-cost maintenance cycles
Data-driven insights help owners transition from reactive fault fixes to predictive maintenance planning.
Aerial thermography and analytics detect faults before they impact yield, ensuring issues are prioritised and resolved quickly.
Unexpected performance losses
Helps you organise and prioritise tasks by site, team, or client.
Unclear asset value and reporting gaps
HOW.
How Above empowers smarter asset management
Above’s connected services work together to help IPPs move from reactive maintenance to proactive portfolio management:
Aerial Topographic Mapping: Establish baseline site conditions for development and future comparison.
Construction Oversight: Ensure EPCs deliver to specification and quality standards before handover.
Module Quality Assurance: Independently verify module integrity and warranty compliance.
Thermographic Inspection: Detect electrical or mechanical faults early to protect generation.
Digital Plant Management with SolarGain: Consolidate all inspection and performance data for transparent, evidence-based decision-making.
Together, these tools support stronger asset performance, reduced operational cost, and higher investor confidence.
Our impact in numbers
81% of construction delays could be prevented with digital tools providing earlier visibility of risks and bottlenecks.
40% of asset owners say they’ve had to “start from scratch” to understand site history during an issue.
69% of costly rework could be avoided with earlier detection of deviations.
WHERE.
Where Above adds value throughout the asset lifecycle
Development: Use topographic data to inform design and project feasibility.
Construction: Gain visibility over EPC progress and quality before taking ownership.
Commissioning: Verify performance against design and warranty guarantees.
Operation: Monitor portfolio health, detect degradation, and manage maintenance priorities.
Reinvestment: Leverage historical data to plan repowering and refinancing with confidence.
From initial construction to end-of-life, Above helps IPPs maintain full control of their portfolio’s performance trajectory.
FAQs
-
Our task list feature lets you create, assign, and track tasks across projects. You can split them by team, region, or client, making it easy to stay organised even at scale.
-
With shared and assignable task lists, you can allocate tasks to the right team members remotely. Everyone has visibility, so even if you’re not physically on site, you can still manage progress effectively.
-
Yes. Our system automatically generates thermographic and visual reports [from your preventative and corrective activities], which you can export as PDFs to send directly to stakeholders. This reduces manual reporting and gives you more time back.
-
The portfolio dashboard gives a clear, real-time view of tasks, surveys, and resolutions. It’s easy to share updates and keep stakeholders confident in project progress.
-
With our digital tools, you can access image repositories, view reports, and manage tasks on site or remotely. This means you can complete accurate reports without waiting until you’re back at the office.
-
The survey pipeline and scheduling features give you full visibility of upcoming and resolved tasks. This forward-looking view makes planning and resource management much easier.
