PV roof model for a solar installer with a PV*SOL-ready handoff in 24 hours
A solar installer needed to speed up proposal workflows without revisiting every roof for a second measurement pass. The priority was not a showcase model, but a reliable handoff for PV*SOL and internal proposal preparation.

Client
Solar installation company in the DACH region
Engagement
Pilot project for recurring roof takeoffs and shading analysis
Challenge
The team had drone imagery but no capacity for in-house reconstruction, model cleanup, or tool-specific prep.
Manual follow-up measurements slowed down proposals and created avoidable back-and-forth in sales.
The output had to move directly into PV*SOL without another conversion loop.
Approach
Review the image set and align the roof type with the downstream PV planning workflow.
Convert roof planes, parapets, and relevant obstacles into a planning-ready 3D model.
Validate the import path before delivery so the model can move straight into proposal work.
Outcome
No second roof visit needed during proposal preparation.
Faster movement from drone imagery into shading analysis and module layout.
Higher confidence in sales because the technical handoff is validated early.
Proof note
PV*SOL-ready roof model with clean roof geometry, roof obstacles, and a fast handoff for proposal workflows.
