The problem
Households and housing societies hesitate to adopt solar because the generation and savings are unclear.
What to build
Build a tool that estimates usable roof area, shading and expected generation from imagery and gives a simple payback estimate.
Success looks like
Area estimates within 15% of measured roofs for a sample and a payback calculator with clearly stated assumptions.
Suggested technologies
- Satellite imagery
