Aurora solar lidar.

It has integrated tools which are absolutely priceless when creating a solar design. Here is how to model using lidar in aurora. Easy lidar enabled 3d roof modeling. Our interactive shade simulator visualizes the sun s movement and impact on your client s pv system.

Generate bankable shade reports that are accepted by major rebate authorities and utilities including nyserda masscec oncor and more. Aurora lidar shading values have been proven by the national renewable energy lab nrel to be statistically equivalent to onsite measurements. Lidar data is also used to calculate how much irradiance sunlight and shading is cast on a rooftop so sites can be quickly screened for their solar potential. Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals.

Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals.

An nrel study funded by the us department of energy doe found that remote shading engines that implemented lidar were within 3 5 of on site measurements. Aurora offers lidar coverage through many parts of the united states and select international locations visible on our map below. Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals. Aurora uses lidar 3d data to calculate building heights roof slopes and tree heights.

Aurora s current coverage areas are shown in green for aurora lidar and orange for google 3d. Click the lidar settings button to toggle between mesh or point cloud. After completing your design click on the lidar button on the top menu. The laser pulse travels at the speed of light.

Our shading analysis is within 3 accuracy of solmetric readings taken on a rooftop for sites that have lidar data and within 5 for sites without lidar. Aurora s irradiance engine provides nrel validated solar access values that are statistically equivalent to traditional on site shade measurement tools. With lidar you can skip truck rolls and sell to your customers with confidence.
