OpenSolar - Advanced Shading 3D Design Analysis Software
Class-leading, 3rd-party validated accuracy with advanced shading analysis. The world’s fastest, most accurate design technology. Create build-ready proposals in under two minutes, using OpenSolar’s class-leading 3D design technology: Automated, fully rendered 3D designs Enter site address and immediately paint on to-scale panels. Pitch, azimuth and shading calculated automatically – with no input from user. Customize system and proposal details directly within Design zone.
Independently verified by a leading US Government agency and leading engineering firm PVEL, OpenSolar’s design tool is proven to deliver results you can count on.
- Photogrammetry-based Digital Surface Map (DSM) technology eliminates the time-intensive and error-prone work of manually building site models
- Leading shading estimate accuracy verified by a leading US Government agency
- Performance calculation engine based on the trusted System Advisor Model of a leading US Government agency
- Trusted design outputs lead to accurate savings values and happy customers
Our automated shading analysis saves you time and gives you performance values you can trust:
- Auto-generated and bankable shading analysis values
- Dynamic solar tracing to model shading impacts through day/month/year
- Heatmaps and shade reports
- Sub-panel level shading analysis down to the sub-string to inform optimal equipment configurations
The most accurate solar design tool available, with full 3D modeling and automation, now also includes:
- Ability to design and sell commercial systems
- Global HD imagery coverage with 3D, 2D or custom properties
- Built-in modeling and measurement tool to design accurate systems where no imagery is available
