Case Study: Standard Energy Solutions boosts solar design accuracy and efficiency with EagleView aerial imagery and solar roof reports

Standard Energy Solutions Using Aerial Image Technology is Paying Off for This Solar Company

Standard Energy Solutions, a Maryland-based solar company, faced the challenge of needing to maximize efficiency and accuracy in its solar PV system design and permitting process to meet growing demand. Their sole residential engineer was tasked with automating manual workflows to prevent costly errors and eliminate the safety risks and delays associated with frequent and unnecessary on-site property visits. To address this, they turned to technology from vendor EagleView, including solar roof reports and CAD-compatible files.

By implementing EagleView's reports and aerial imagery tools, Standard Energy Solutions gained access to precise roof measurements, azimuth data, and downloadable .dxf files for CAD systems. This solution from EagleView allowed the engineering team to verify site data remotely, dramatically reducing the need for technicians to climb roofs and eliminating errors from hard-to-read field notes. The vendor's technology proved to be highly accurate, with measurements consistently within inches of manual checks, which increased productivity, improved safety, and provided a return on investment by acting as a cost-effective alternative to a full-time drafter.
