The Leading Drone-Based PV Shading Software
Generate real-time, on-site shade analysis approved by regulators and lenders with TOF, TSRF, and ASA values.
Precise PV Shading Software for Optimal Design
Scanifly’s solar PV shading software allows solar surveyors to get current on-site data without going on the roof. By capturing highly accurate imagery and measurements using drones, Scanifly generates proprietary solar access viewsheds that are as accurate as Solmetric or Pathfinder tools.

No More Dangerous Roof Climbs for On-Site PV Shading Analysis
With drone-based imagery, surveyors take measurements that are more accurate than hand sketches. In turn, contractors save money, improve efficiency, and reduce liability.

Real-Time Shade Analysis
Use Scanifly to visualize the shade cast on an object at any time of day, on any day of the year. Using local weather data and tracking the sun's path, Scanifly determines TOF, Solar Access, and TSRF values for each array of the proposed solar project.
Obtain On-Site Shade Data Within 1% of the Solmetric SunEye
Scanifly’s virtual solar viewshed calculations are within 1% of SunEye readings at the same site and can be >20% more accurate than shade reports derived from satellite imagery.
Remove Trees and Obstructions With Scanifly’s Occluder Tool
Use the Occluder Tool to quickly block out obstructions in your 3D environment and simulate the impact that removing trees or other structures would have on the system's design and production.
In just a few clicks, the Occluder Tool hides objects and prevents them from casting shadows in your 3D environment. This ensures that Scanifly's Shade Tool and Solar Access Viewsheds can accurately analyze your project before and after eliminating obstructions.
Shading Tools Trusted By the Solar Industry
“Using a solmetric becomes very cumbersome to take say 20 shots, where with Scanifly, you can simply plot a sun chart from anywhere in a matter of seconds. You all know we are conservative, professional, and committed to this industry. I would not make this recommendation if I did not think highly of it and I want my salespeople off the roof!”
