Sighten uses Project Sunroof data to automatically optimize tilts and azimuths on arrays to maximize solar generation This makes designing a project even easierset tilt and azimuth for all arrays drawn within Sunroof coverage. Simply draw the array and values will be automatically populated!
How does it work?
Once you add an array, the optimal azimuth and tilt will automatically determinedWhile in RSD mode, start drawing arrays with your normal workflow. Upon completing the outline, the roof plane below is analyzed to determine the azimuth and tilt. The side of the drawn array at the downslope of the roof plane is automatically selected :

as the azimuth.

The side, azimuth, and tilt fields will be on and re-calculate as required while the toggles are onneeded when you move arrays. To enter manual values, simply turn off the toggles and enter your desired inputs. |

We’ve noticed that flat roofs aren't always completely flat - many, for example, they typically have a small tilt for draining water. Sunroof picks this up precision. In this case, if tilt is < 5 degrees, automated tilt will default to 0 and the automated azimuth is defaulted to the most southern facing edge.
