SUN SPOT (Solar Panel Optimization Tool) Overview

Sun SPOT is a parametric tool designed to optimize the placement and configuration of solar panels on rooftops. By leveraging Grasshopper and Ladybug, this tool evaluates the potential solar radiation and direct sun hours for any given rooftop geometry. Sun SPOT helps users maximize the efficiency and energy output of their solar panel installations by analyzing various parameters such as tilt angle, orientation, and panel dimensions. Users can input their rooftop dimensions and location, and Sun SPOT will provide visualizations of the optimal solar panel arrangement, highlighting areas of maximum solar gain.
