Roof Shading Analysis
Analyze the impact of buildings, chimneys, parapets and surrounding obstacles on rooftop panel placement.
How it works
PVRoof evaluates roof and surrounding shading sources with the model.
The result helps identify suitable surfaces and zones where panels should be avoided.
Highlights
- Accounts for chimneys, parapets and surrounding buildings.
- Shows risky shadow zones on roof surfaces.
- Supports layout decisions with shading data.
Outputs shown on this page
