The Pitched Roof Solar Analysis evaluates pitched (sloped) roofs for solar panel installation.
The analysis estimates the power output and earnings for different installation configurations, and provides recommendations on how to maximize power output.
This analysis can be applied to any structure with a pitched roof, which includes most houses.
This product is currently being offered for free and can be accessed here using the code "Pitched Roof".
The analysis requires measurements of the target building, which can usually be performed remotely using satellite images—we provide walkthroughs on how to do this, which you can review ahead of time here.
All of our paid packages grant unlimited access to the analysis platform for 24 hours. The countdown starts after an access code is redeemed for use. There’s no limit on the number of locations or trials that can be analyzed in the 24-hour time window. Access codes will never expire prior to redemption.
The analysis assumes that your roof has 4 faces, but this can be adjusted. (For fewer than 4 roof faces, you can hide or ignore the extra results that show up. For more than 4 faces, you’ll need to run the analysis an extra time to get results for the extra faces.)
The analysis generates the following outputs:
Estimated kWh Per Year (Flat-On-Roof Mounting)
Estimated kWh Per Year (Tilted Mounting)
Estimated Electricity Savings Per Year ($)
Estimated Financial Metrics (NPV, ROI, etc.)
Optimal Tilt Angles (for Tilt Mount Installations)

The analysis requires the following inputs (which each have walkthroughs):
