  • Publication number: 20240176921
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for designing and proposing an installation of a project for a structure or site that can be based on identifying installation surface faces, installation surface face insolation, obstructions affecting insolation (or similar property), obstacles and penetrations affecting placement of installation equipment, etc., and for providing an educational experience for a potential purchaser of the system comprising general information and at least one structure-specific installation proposal. A selected plan can be implemented from within a proposal platform of the disclosed systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20230177714
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for solar production available for a site, structure, or other object or surface of interest. The solar production can be utilized in designing and/or generating proposals for solar installation projects. The solar production can be determined based on identifying installation surface faces, installation surface face insolation, obstructions affecting insolation (or similar property), obstacles and penetrations affecting placement of installation (or production) equipment, etc., and for providing an educational experience comprising general information and at least one structure-specific installation proposal. A selected plan can be implemented from within a proposal platform of the disclosed systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20230169235
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for sunlight obstruction modelling for a site, structure, or other object or surface of interest. The sunlight obstruction modeling can be utilized in designing and/or generating proposals for solar installation projects. The sunlight obstruction modeling can be determined based on identifying installation surface faces, installation surface face insolation, obstructions affecting insolation (or similar property), obstacles and penetrations affecting placement of installation equipment, etc., and for providing an educational experience for a potential purchaser of the system comprising general information and at least one structure-specific installation proposal. A selected plan can be implemented from within a proposal platform of the disclosed systems and methods.
