Project Sunroof is the new project from Google which will allow homemakers to check on whether they would or would not benefit from solar panels. Solar related projects haven’t taken off well around the globe despite being one of the most awesome and clean ways to generate electricity. Google rolls out this initiative in select areas under which all you need to do is to just head over to the official page of Google Sunroof where you will have to put in your address to check out the projected cost savings post opting for solar.
This tool is available in San Francisco Bay Area, Fresno (in central California), and the Boston area for now. This tool uses the high resolution aerial mapping to help you calculate the roof’s solar energy potential, without having to climb up any ladders. Also, Google recommends you the installation size to generate close to 100% of your electricity use, based on roof size, the amount of sun hitting the roof, and your electricity bill.
In a simple way, this tool will help you calculate on how much light will hit your rooftop throughout the year and then it will factor in the orientation, trees along within other nearby buildings etc. So, just in case if you are not in the piloted areas where Google has launched this project, you can sign up for the same with some basic details so that Google will intimate you once available.
