Abstract: A method of determining solar radiation exposure at a predetermined location is provided. The method may include generating a first two-dimensional (2D) matrix including a plurality of elements, wherein each element of the plurality of elements of the first 2D matrix includes an elevation/azimuth pair representing a light ray extending from the predetermined location to one or more positions in the sky. The method may further include generating a second 2D matrix including a plurality of elements, wherein each index of the second 2D matrix includes an associated elevation/azimuth pair of the first 2D matrix. Each element of the plurality of elements of the second 2D matrix represents an amount of solar radiation to impinge on the predetermined location from a direction of a respective elevation/azimuth pair.

Abstract: Methods of determining one or more shading conditions associated with a structure are provided. A method may include determining a first azimuth of a reference roof edge relative to an orientation of a first image of a structure. The method may further include determining a second azimuth of the reference roof edge relative to a second image captured proximate the structure. In addition, the method may include determining one or more shading conditions associated with the structure based on the first azimuth and the second azimuth. Non-transitory computer-readable media is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of determining solar radiation exposure are provided. A method may include tracing one or more rays from a first 3D coordinate to one or more additional 3D coordinates within a digital model representing one or more simulated locations of the sun within the digital model. The method may also include determining whether any of the rays of the one or more rays intersect an obstruction. Further, the method may include determining solar access associated with the first 3D coordinate based on the determination of whether any of the rays of the one or more rays intersect the obstruction.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods, systems, and devices for predicting production of a photovoltaic (PV) system. A method may include establishing a reference performance model for a reference PV system at a reference site. Further, the method may include establishing a performance factor for an installed PV system based on configuration parameters of the installed PV system, measurements of the installed PV system, weather data at an installation site of the installed PV system and a comparison of the measurements of the installed PV system to the reference performance model. The method may also include predicting production of the installed PV system based on the performance factor, cumulative weather data and a time dependent performance ratio.
