Abstract: Generating a photovoltaic system design and proposal includes fetching a maximum solar panel design for a photovoltaic system design from a photovoltaic system design tool; fetching an electricity profile for the photovoltaic system design; receiving one or more modifications to one or more of the photovoltaic system design and an environment of the photovoltaic system; determining customer pricing based on one or more of the modified photovoltaic system design and the modified environment of the photovoltaic system; and generating a customer proposal based on the modified photovoltaic system design and the modified environment of the photovoltaic system.

Abstract: Remotely surveying a photovoltaic system site includes receiving a photograph uploaded by a user device; analyzing the photograph using a trained machine learning model; receiving a confidence score from the trained machine learning model; determining if the photograph includes predetermined information, the predetermined information being used to perform a remote photovoltaic (PV) system site survey remotely; and in response to a determination that the photograph does not include the predetermined information, provide specific instructions regarding the missing information, wherein the specific instructions include guidance on how to retake the photograph to capture the predetermined information.

Abstract: A solar design generation system is configured to design a solar panel or photovoltaic (PV) system for the roof of building. A server includes processing circuitry configured to receive information from a remote device, including an address corresponding to a building having a roof, automatically generate a solar design in real time based on the received information, and display the solar design to a user. The user can interact with the solar design in various ways to accommodate, implement and calculate various design changes, design rules and electricity generation (production) estimates.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating permit sets. A rules engine can traverse various requirements of a rules data structure in conjunction with rule settings that define permitting rules in effect for a particular jurisdiction to determine a value for each requirement. Document objects may then be created by combining project inputs with the determined values. A composing engine can receive the document objects and populate one or more page templates with the document objects to create a permit set.

Abstract: Determining solar panel placement enables sales representatives and homeowners to modify a solar power system by adding or removing solar panels or arrays of solar panels, or changing module type. The user sees the corresponding solar energy production update instantly in a user interface. Determining solar panel placement includes receiving data corresponding to an installation location. A maximum solar panel design is determined based on the installation location. Energy production is determined for a solar panel on each section of a roof of an installation location, and the energy production and energy offset are dynamically displayed in real time when any solar panel or array is selected or deselected.
