SunTrace3D
Visualize sun movement across buildings in real-time 3D. Simulate shadows for any date and time, place virtual solar panels, and estimate annual energy yield for any location on Earth.
Powered by Google 3D Tiles, SunCalc, and PVGIS — free to use, no installation required.
Everything you need for solar analysis
Powerful tools combined in one intuitive 3D interface
Shadow Simulation
Accurate sun position tracking for any date, time, and location. Watch shadows sweep across the city in real-time with a 24-hour time slider.
Solar Panel Analysis
Place virtual panels on rooftops, calculate irradiance based on PVGIS data, and estimate annual energy yield with shading loss analysis.
3D City Models
High-fidelity photorealistic 3D models streamed from Google 3D Tiles. Explore any city with terrain, buildings, and vegetation.
Sun Path Visualization
Interactive sun arc showing the complete path of the sun across the sky. Scrub through time to see how sunlight changes throughout the day and year.
SD & HD Quality
Instant preview with standard detail, then upgrade to photorealistic HD models with full texture detail. Works on desktop and mobile.
Partner API & Embeds
Integrate 3D solar views into your website with a single iframe. Full REST API for generating models and calculating energy yield programmatically.
How it works
Three simple steps to solar insight
Choose a Location
Search for any address worldwide or click on the map. A photorealistic 3D model loads instantly via Google 3D Tiles — no waiting required.
Explore in 3D
Navigate the interactive model with realistic sun shadows. Use the time slider to scrub through 24 hours or pick any date to see seasonal light changes.
Analyze Solar Potential
Place virtual panels on rooftops, calculate shading losses, and get annual energy yield estimates backed by PVGIS satellite irradiance data.
