About
What if you could move solar panels on a real building and instantly see how the Sun, shadows and energy yield change? That’s ScanTheSun.
Winner of UN Energy Innovation Challenge 👉 Turning smartphones into solar engineering tools | Solar PV Optimization | HEMS | ClimateTech 📱 Mobile + Web📱
📋 The old paradigm
➡️ Visit the site ➡️ Measure everything ➡️ Go back to the office ➡️ Engineer the system
➡️ Prepare the proposal days later
➡️ 5+ hours can be spent before the customer even sees a proposal & what they usually see is another PDF...
↪️ The result? It is difficult to show why one design is better than another
📱 The new paradigm
1️⃣ SCAN → Site + environment in 1- 5 min
2️⃣ SIMULATE → Watch the Sun, shading and energy impact in 4D
3️⃣ OPTIMISE → Move panels, optimise PV + battery + EV, and propose while the customer is still engaged
Instead of separating sales from engineering, ScanTheSun brings real-time 4D physics into the first customer conversation: on-site or remotely
And unlike legacy engineering software or lightweight solar visualisation apps, it is designed to be
✅️ simple enough for the field
✅️ powerful enough for real engineering
✅️ economical enough to deploy at scale
What makes this different:
🚀 Solar SANDBOX Live - move panels on a real building, watch the Sun move across the roof & see PV production evolve in real time, including sub-hourly shading effects
🔋 PV + Battery + EV co-optimisation: size the system around actual solar yield and demand.
🗺️ Instant engineering output: generate detailed PV layouts, production forecasts and project documentation from the same workflow
The result: up to 90% faster proposals, 10+ proposals/day instead of 2- 3, fewer unnecessary site visits - and a shift from:
➡️ “Who is cheapest?” to
↪️ “Which design produces the best result?”
🗣 What we DELIVER:
✰ The App generates: the single best placement parameters for PV panels
✰ Number of panels, perfect placement, optimal tilt & azimuth
✰ Highest reliability energy yield forecast - during whole year
✰ Both direct and diffuse solar energy impact
✰ Any shades and obstacles for the Sun rays penetration, local atmospheric conditions, cloudiness as well as PV-panels optical and efficiency features included
