About METARPAS

Turning drone inspection into daily operations

METARPAS combines Meta — meaning boundless extensibility — with RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System), the official ICAO designation for drones. Since our founding in 2016, we have been transforming the maintenance of energy and facility infrastructure with drones and AI.

Why we started

No solution for solar module defects

Solar modules account for half the cost of a plant, yet with no solution to inspect and maintain them, most were left unattended.

Drone inspection stuck at manual video review

Even with drone footage, finding defective modules by eye is hard — and findings ended as manual annotations with little insight.

NETZERO — surging renewable energy

Demand for renewables is exploding for carbon neutrality, but technology is needed to lower generation costs and optimize maintenance.

All construction, no upkeep

Investment concentrates on building and expanding plants, while systems for efficient maintenance and generation optimization lag behind.
