RTK-equipped drone above pitched roofs for PV measurement
Solar Installers

Roof takeoff by drone – no second site visit needed.

We convert your drone captures into PV*SOL-ready 3D models with precise roof dimensions, shading analysis, and material planning – ready in 12–24 hours.

Project fit

Input in. Target system out.

The first job of this page is clarity: what you send, what you receive, and which target systems the handoff is built for.

Your input

  • Drone images of the roof (JPG/RAW/TIFF)
  • Roof type (pitched, flat, hip roof)
  • Optional: RTK data for maximum positional accuracy

Your output

  • PV-ready 3D model (direct import to PV*SOL)
  • Shading analysis data with roof obstacles
  • Roof takeoff with precise area measurements
  • Orthophoto with scale and reference points

Search intent & use case

Who this page targets and why

This page targets solar installers, PV contractors, and roofing companies searching for drone roof measurement, digital takeoffs, or rapid 3D modelling for proposals. The pain point: manual measurements are error-prone, time-consuming, and lead to waste. We solve this with a drone-to-CAD pipeline that delivers a precise, measurable model in under 24 hours.

The difference from generic 3D services: our models are not just visually accurate but immediately importable into PV*SOL, Eturnity, and PVcase. You get not just a pretty 3D file, but the concrete working basis for shading analysis, module planning, proposal preparation, and client technical review.

Typical search and project scenarios

Roof takeoff for PV proposals – without a second site visit
Fast 3D roof models for shading analysis and module layout
Material quantity planning with precise area and pitch data
Repeatable workflows for high-volume roof types
