I’m Carson Cloud — Co-Founder of Solar Survey AI — and I want to personally introduce what we’re building. A few years ago, I was living in my minivan, traveling the U.S. to open new markets for residential solar surveys. I donated plasma just to keep gas in the tank, food on the table & the business operational. I flew the drones, delivered the reports and built a profitable, nationwide business from the ground up. That journey taught me two hard truths: 1) Solar can’t scale without speed and precision 2) The current inspection process — even with drones — is still broken. Manual inspections can take weeks or even months. Drone imagery helped — but the data still gets manually annotated, taking 1–2 weeks to process. While gigawatts of new solar go online, operators are stuck waiting for insights — losing time, money, and megawatts in the process. Solar Survey AI changes that. We’re building the brain of tomorrow’s energy grid. We can process GWs of solar in a day, detecting thermal anomalies & soiling issues to deliver same-day reports that tell operators exactly where they’re losing power and revenue. Some of the biggest solar owners, are reporting seven-figures in daily losses during performance dips. We stop that bleed — and prevent it from happening again. Every flight trains our system. Every anomaly becomes a new layer of intelligence. We’re not just inspecting — we’re building the decision-making layer for the world’s solar infrastructure. - Carson Cloud Co-Founder & CEO, Solar Survey AI

We’re giving away free orthomosaic generation for solar cleaning companies. If you’ve never seen an orthomosaic, here’s what it is: A high-resolution, stitched aerial map of an entire solar site — built from hundreds of drone photos. It’s like Google Earth, but accurate to the inch. Why it matters for solar cleaners: ✅ You can mark exactly where each cleaning crew should start and finish ✅ Measure total array area (so you can quote jobs precisely) ✅ Track what’s been cleaned vs what hasn’t ✅ Show clients visual proof of work ✅ Build a permanent site record for recurring jobs At Solar Survey AI, we’re using drone data and AI to help cleaners work smarter — and orthomosaics are the foundation of that system. If you’re a solar cleaning company and want a free orthomosaic for one of your sites, drop a comment or DM me. We’ll generate it and show you how it can change the way you operate. — Carson Cloud Co-Founder, Solar Survey AI

We’re building something that will change how solar gets cleaned. Right now, most cleaning teams rely on schedules — not data.Sites get cleaned monthly, quarterly, or “when they look dirty.” But here’s the truth:Soiling doesn’t happen evenly.Some areas lose 2% of production. Others lose 20%. At Solar Survey AI, we’re building the system that identifies exactly where and when panels need to be cleaned — using drone imagery, AI detection, and financial modeling to show: ⚡ Where energy is being lost 💰 How much revenue is on the line 🗓️ When cleaning will pay off most For cleaners, this means: - Smarter routes - Data-backed pricing - Reports that prove your value to asset owners We’re partnering with solar cleaning companies across the country to bring intelligence to solar maintenance — and build the future of performance optimization together. If you clean solar — this is your invitation to join early. — Carson Cloud Co-Founder, Solar Survey AI
