Without SunTrace3D

Hours spent on manual site design

Desktop CAD tools require importing terrain, modeling roofs, and manually placing each panel — eating hours per project.

No ground mount design tool

Most online solar tools only handle rooftops. Ground mount projects still require expensive engineering software or guesswork.

Generic proposals that don't impress

Flat 2D layouts and spreadsheet numbers don't convey the full picture to clients deciding on a six-figure investment.

With SunTrace3D

One-click system design

Place rooftop panels automatically with the Solar Wizard, or draw ground mount array boundaries on real terrain. Full system layout in under a minute.

Ground mount & rooftop in one tool

Design ground-mounted arrays with configurable tilt, azimuth, GCR spacing, and row orientation — on actual terrain contours. Same tool handles rooftops.

Professional PDF site reports

Generate branded proposals with 3D renders, monthly production charts, financial analysis, shading data, and environmental impact — ready for client presentation.

Solar Panel Placement

Solar Panel Placement

Place individual panels or full arrays on any roof surface. Instantly see per-panel shading analysis with color-coded indicators showing how much sunlight each panel receives.

Ground Mount Array Design

Ground Mount Array Design

Draw polygon boundaries on real terrain and generate optimized panel rows automatically. Configure tilt, azimuth, ground coverage ratio, and row orientation — panels follow actual terrain contours.

Professional PDF Reports

Professional PDF Reports

Generate client-ready site feasibility reports with 3D renders, system specs, monthly production charts, financial analysis, and environmental impact data.

Real-Time Shadow Simulation

Real-Time Shadow Simulation

Scrub through any hour of any day to see exactly where shadows fall on your property. Watch how sunlight changes from sunrise to sunset across all four seasons.

Energy Yield Estimation

Energy Yield Estimation

Get satellite-backed energy production estimates powered by European Commission irradiance data and NASA climate records. See monthly kWh breakdown for your exact location.

Embeddable 3D Viewer

How It Works

solutions.howItWorksSubtitle

1

Assess the Site in 3D

Enter any address to load a photorealistic 3D model. Inspect the roof, terrain, and surrounding obstacles — no site visit needed for initial assessment.

2

Design the System

Place rooftop panels with auto-placement or draw ground mount boundaries. Real-time shadow analysis and energy yield update as you design.

3

Deliver a Professional Report

Generate a PDF site report with 3D visualizations, system specs, monthly production, costs, payback period, and CO₂ offset. White-label with your branding.

  • Separate tools for rooftop vs. ground mount
  • Site visit required for initial assessment

SunTrace3D

  • €99/month — rooftop and ground mount design included
  • Complete system design and PDF report in 10 minutes
  • One platform handles both — same workflow, same reports
  • Remote 3D assessment with shadow analysis from your desk

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ground mount design work?

Draw a polygon boundary on the terrain, set your tilt angle, azimuth, and ground coverage ratio. The system automatically generates panel rows following the actual terrain contours with proper spacing.

What's included in the PDF site report?

3D perspective and top-down renders, system specs (panel count, peak kW), monthly production chart, financial analysis (costs, savings, payback), shading loss data, CO₂ offset, and your company branding.

Can I use this for both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. The same tools handle residential rooftops, commercial flat roofs, carport arrays, and open-field ground mount installations. No panel count limits on Business tier.

How accurate is the energy yield calculation?

Calculations use European Commission PVGIS irradiance data and NASA climate records, with per-panel shading analysis across 120 sun positions throughout the year. Temperature derating and system losses are included.

Can I embed a solar calculator on my website for lead capture?

Yes. Add the 3D viewer to your site with a simple iframe. Visitors design their own system and submit as a lead — with panel count, energy yield, and costs pre-attached. Business plan includes unlimited embeds.

Can I brand the reports with my company?

Business tier reports include your company name and contact details. Enterprise tier adds full white-label branding with custom logo, colors, and domain.
