Aurora Solar Lidar

Aurora s current coverage areas are shown in green for aurora lidar and orange for google 3d.

Aurora solar lidar. Aurora offers lidar coverage through many parts of the united states and select international locations visible on our map below. Aurora lidar shading values have been proven by the national renewable energy lab nrel to be statistically equivalent to onsite measurements. Toggle into the 3d view by clicking the 3d box icon or holding right click and moving your cursor up. With lidar you can skip truck rolls and sell to your customers with confidence.

Aurora uses lidar 3d data to calculate building heights roof slopes and tree heights. It has integrated tools which are absolutely priceless when creating a solar design. Click the lidar settings button to toggle between mesh or point cloud. Aurora is our main tool for creating solar designs and proposals.

Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals. The laser pulse travels at the speed of light. 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. Here is how to model using lidar in aurora.

Read nrel s validation of aurora s shading accuracy. Easy lidar enabled 3d roof modeling. Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals. 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.

Lidar is a technology where a scanner emits pulses of light energy using a laser at buildings and other objects in an area and measures how long it takes for the pulse to return. Aurora solar a cloud based platform that enables sophisticated solar pv engineering design supports operations and facilitates customer acquisition for solar professionals. Our interactive shade simulator visualizes the sun s movement and impact on your client s pv system.
