Case Study: Imging Flight improves solar shading analysis accuracy with Loveland Innovations

IMGING Flight delivers real-time solar shading analysis with Loveland Innovations using 15-minute interval data

The customer, Imging Flight, required highly accurate shading analysis for designing and financing solar arrays. They partnered with vendor Loveland Innovations, leveraging their drone-based solar analysis service to obtain precise, real-time data during site surveys.

Loveland Innovations implemented a solution using drones to capture data for a specialized shading tool. This tool calculates critical metrics like Solar Access, Tilt and Orientation Factor (TOF), and Total Solar Resource Fraction (TSRF), presenting the data on a 3D model and in detailed PDF reports. The result was uniquely accurate irradiance data, as Loveland's approach correctly accounts for diffuse light even during shaded periods, ensuring Imging Flight received the most reliable information for their solar projects.
