Overview

Drone-based 3D solar design software platform enabling accurate shade analysis and photogrammetry modeling from aerial imagery.

Overview of Scanifly

Scanifly is a drone-based solar software platform that transforms drone imagery into highly accurate 3D CAD models for solar design and shade analysis. By replacing manual roof measurements with drone photogrammetry, Scanifly enhances surveyor safety and design precision.

Drone Photogrammetry Advantages

  • Millimeter-Accurate 3D Models: Generate true 3D virtual site replicas automatically from drone flight photos.
  • Sub-Percent Shade Verification: Perform shade analysis using view factor algorithms directly from drone camera perspectives.
  • Surveyor Safety: Eliminate hazardous roof climbs and manual tape measurements during pre-construction site audits.

Key Features

  • Drone Photogrammetry 3D Modeling
  • Hazard-Free Remote Site Audits
  • 3D View-Factor Shade Engine
  • Direct Export to CAD Software
  • Integrated Drone Flight Training
