EverBright uses Project Sunroof data to automatically set tilt and azimuth for all arrays drawn within Sunroof coverage. Simply draw the array and values will be automatically populated!

How does it work?

While 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 needed when you move arrays. To enter manual values, simply turn off the toggles and enter your desired inputs.

How about flat roofs?

We’ve noticed that flat roofs aren't always completely flat - many, for example, have a small tilt for draining water.  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.
