Professional PV planning — from the 3D model to the proposal.
Based on the centimeter-accurate 3D model, you design the entire system — module layout, cell-level shading, string & inverter planning, yield and economics — and generate a finished customer proposal from it. All in the browser.
01 Planning basis
The true-to-scale 3D model as your planning basis
Your building is available as a centimeter-accurate 3D model in the browser. Roof surfaces, pitch, azimuth and ridge/eaves heights are precisely measured — the reliable foundation for the entire PV design.
Centimeter-accurate surveySurface · pitch · azimuthObstacles captured
34.7°Roof pitchSouth-WestAzimuth · 215°
02 Modules & layout
Modules placed on the roof to the millimeter
Roof surfaces are detected, modules selected from the database, chimneys and dormers taken into account. The optimal layout is generated at the click of a button — and remains freely adjustable.

03 Mounting system
Mounting structure — from pitched roof to ground-mount
Sloped and pitched roof, flat-roof elevation or ground-mounted system — SKYMODEL plans the right mounting structure. Row spacing, tilt angles and loads feed directly into the layout. We work with leading manufacturers.

04 Cell-level simulation
Shading — down to the individual cell
SKYMODEL simulates the sun's position across the entire year and calculates shading losses at cell level. Every panel, every cell gets its real yield loss — the basis for module choice and string planning.

05 Wiring
Strings and inverters cleanly wired
Group panels into strings, assign inverters and MPP trackers, check voltages and currents. Color-coded strings show the wiring directly on the 3D model — design-safe.

06 Yield & return
Yield and return — robustly calculated
From geometry, shading and wiring comes the yield forecast. Including storage, heat pump, EV, dynamic tariff and tenant electricity — with self-sufficiency, self-consumption, payback and cash flow over the entire lifetime.
