Aurora Solar Lidar

It has integrated tools which are absolutely priceless when creating a solar design.

Aurora solar lidar.

Aurora s current coverage areas are shown in green for aurora lidar and orange for google 3d. After completing your design click on the lidar button on the top menu. Here is how to model using lidar in aurora. Toggle into the 3d view by clicking the 3d box icon or holding right click and moving your cursor up.

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.

Easy lidar enabled 3d roof modeling.

With lidar you can skip truck rolls and sell to your customers with confidence. Aurora is our main tool for creating solar designs and proposals. Aurora has streamlined our design process and is our go to when it comes to accuracy. Our interactive shade simulator visualizes the sun s movement and impact on your client s pv system.

Aurora s irradiance engine provides nrel validated solar access values that are statistically equivalent to traditional on site shade measurement tools. 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. 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. Click the lidar settings button to toggle between mesh or point cloud.

Aurora uses lidar 3d data to calculate building heights roof slopes and tree heights. The laser pulse travels at the speed of light. Lidar assisted modeling commercial design automatic obstruction detection bankable shade reports.

Austin hohman westhaven solar. 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 lidar shading values have been proven by the national renewable energy lab nrel to be statistically equivalent to onsite measurements.
