About Sky Specs

Sky Specs is simplifying renewable energy asset management by offering purpose-built technologies and services that help our customers deliver industry-leading productivity, efficiency, and returns. Every day we help our customers unlock the power of their data so they can make confident, informed decisions. Our team brings deep industry experience and a willingness to get our hands dirty to first understand and then solve customer problems on the ground.

Sky Specs launched the world’s first completely autonomous blade inspection product in 2016 with a custom-designed drone system. Since then, Sky Specs has inspected over 200,000 wind turbines in over 31 countries, becoming the world leader in understanding the health of turbine blades. Identifying issues with turbine blades is only the first step. In 2019, Sky Specs launched Horizon to be a platform for Sky Specs to offer a multi-layered solution for customers that includes: data collection, wind turbine blade engineering expertise, and a place for all stakeholders to collaborate to manage and analyze massive amounts of data, spot trends, and create plans for high-cost repair campaigns.

Since 2021, Sky Specs acquired three companies specializing in wind turbine drivetrain monitoring, financial management and automated turbine data analytics and fleet optimization, further expanding our offering in the market. Ultimately, this will help reduce the cost and risk of operations for the industry.

Sky Specs will probably be unlike any place you’ve ever worked. The second you walk in the door (or log in, if you are remote), you will feel the high-energy environment filled with incredibly smart people solving hard problems. Sky Specs values collaboration, multidisciplinary problem solving, and a mantra of ‘under-promise, over-deliver’. Sky Specs is at a critical growth period where there are endless opportunities to make an impact.
