Abstract: A system and method for generating canvas representations of solar panel installation potential in a geographic area. The method includes: identifying, based on at least one location parameter, a plurality of addresses, wherein the at least one location parameter represents a geographic area including the plurality of addresses; extracting an image of a geographic area including the plurality of addresses; causing a determination of an installation layout for the plurality of addresses based on the extracted image; causing a generation of at least one solar analytic for each of the plurality of addresses based on the determined installation layout; and generating, based on the installation layout and the at least one solar analytic for each address, a canvas representation for the geographic area.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a potential surface for installation of solar panels are provided. The method includes extracting, from a database of overhead images, at least one overhead image respective of a location; identifying a surface outline of at least one surface within the at least one overhead image; determining a pattern associated with the surface outline, the pattern comprising at least a facet; determining a potential installation area for solar panels based on the at least facet; and, displaying the potential installation area overlaid on the overhead image.
