The project is formally named “Development and demonstration of a dynamic, web-based, renewable energy rating platform”, is funded by the European Commission. The goal was to build a website that automatically identifies and measures roofs, assesses their suitability for photovoltaic and solar thermal panels, and provides an estimate of costs, benefits, and return on investment
Software Company was responsible for developing the platform and integrating all of the data and calculations into a single functioning website. This included:
- Linked databases of addresses, geographical coordinates, and LiDAR data
- Standard and simplified user interfaces
- Automatic calculation of available roof space given address or geo coordinates
- Provision of detailed options and prices
- Integration of calculations and report generation
