    Abstract: Photovoltaic shade impact prediction processes include obtaining a three-dimensional model of a subject, associating an identifier of a camera image with a location of the camera disposed on the subject. The processes also include receiving an image of the sky captured by the camera, and the identifier, measuring pixel brightness of the image, estimating shade object perimeters in spherical coordinates based on the pixel brightness, and displaying a representation of the shade object perimeters in the model at the location of the camera based on the camera image identifier. The representation of the shade object perimeters is oriented based on a tilt angle and azimuth angle of the subject surface. The processes further include estimating a size and position of shade objects in real world three-dimensional space based on the spherical coordinates of the shade object perimeters, and creating an irradiance map for the subject surface.
