    Passion project guys. I've built a tool that'll give you a financial breakdown of a solar installation, for your building (commercial). Based on a satellite image of your roof.

    Works for most buildings in Western Europe, USA, Asia, the urban parts of Ireland etc. As long as they'll take panels on the roof.

    The tool is built for lead generation ie. Installers would add it to their website. Then take contact details using a popup. It comes with a 10 page personalised download report for the user.

    Feedback would be great 👍

    A couple of addendums guys:

    1. The grant is setup for SEAI Irish non-domestic so the figures won't be accurate for residential.
    2. @Jim_Hodge (pls try again: live version released). Unfortunately, rural parts of Ireland aren't covered by the satellite (see image below for coverage). Buildings with rooves that are unsuitable for solar will return an error also (a 404).
    3. The Payback Period figure looks off to me. The other figures pass a sanity check.

    Essentially, it's a BETA version guys. Thanks for your understanding 🙏
