Teams with Google Sunroof project
- Project Sunroof is a new online tool created by Google that provides homeowners with custom solar information for their home. The tool uses high-resolution aerial mapping (the same used by Google Earth) to help calculate a roof's solar energy potential, without having to climb up a ladder.
- The program will tell the homeowner how much sunlight hits their rooftop throughout the year while factoring in roof orientation, shade from trees and nearby buildings, and local weather patterns.
- A homeowner can also enter their typical electric bill cost for more customized results. The tool will combine the information to estimate the amount a homeowner could potentially save with solar panels, and it can help connect them with local solar providers, like Vivint Solar.
