Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses related to a solar panel layout and installation software tool are presented. In certain aspects, information is retrieved from one or more data sources based on a received location. The retrieved information may correspond to satellite images of the location, climate data for the location, data describing one or more physical structures at the location, and additional information relating to technical or financial considerations of potential solar panel layouts and systems. A user interface may be displayed including a graphical representation of the location and any physical structures at the location, and including a plurality of user options for designing one or more solar panel layouts at the location based on the retrieved information corresponding to the location.
