Project context
- 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.
Delivered files
- PV*SOL-ready 3D roof model
- Follow-up delivery data for Eturnity and PVcase
- Short QA note with project context and delivery guidance
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 delivery is validated early.
PV*SOL-ready roof model with clean roof geometry, roof obstacles, and a fast delivery for proposal workflows.
