What is System Advisor Model (SAM)?

Photovoltaic systems exhibit a broad range, from compact setups on home rooftops to large-scale utility projects that span vast areas. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems serve the purpose of electricity generation and come in different configurations, including parabolic troughs, power towers, and linear Fresnel systems. Many of these projects are supported by power purchase agreements (PPAs), which link the energy systems to the electrical grid at specified interconnection points, enabling the monetization of electricity through sales. The ownership structure of such projects can vary, with options for individual ownership or collaborative partnerships that might involve flip or leaseback agreements. In some cases, a third-party ownership model is adopted, where the solar installation is located on a customer's property, yet the ownership remains with an external developer who pays the property owner for the generated electricity, usually through a PPA or lease. This approach not only encourages the wider adoption of solar technology but also creates financial benefits for property owners willing to engage in sustainable energy practices. As a result, these diverse ownership models contribute to the overall growth and accessibility of renewable energy across different sectors.

What is Scanifly?

Almost all professionals in the solar industry, specifically 98%, conduct technical evaluations at the site before construction begins, with over half completing this step prior to closing a sale. However, despite their diligence, solar companies frequently spend countless hours using ladders and taking manual measurements on rooftops, which can delay project timelines, reduce accuracy, and increase safety risks. By utilizing drone technology combined with sophisticated 3D modeling, Scanifly’s solar design software can dramatically decrease the need for rooftop inspections, potentially slashing onsite time by up to 90%, while also improving design accuracy to avoid expensive redesigns, change orders, or installation delays. Conventional tools such as ladders, tape measures, and handwritten notes may lead to inaccuracies and mistakes due to the reliance on approximations. In contrast, the use of drones and 3D modeling technology streamlines the entire process, enhancing both efficiency and safety while increasing design precision. By capturing images with your drone in JPEG format, you can digitize multiple elements of the project. Additionally, this cutting-edge technology automatically creates scaled 3D models of the intended sites, offering a thorough perspective for solar project planning. This advancement not only simplifies the workflow for solar companies but also allows for more informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
