nearmap has launched nearmap Solar, a service providing instant client quotes and location-aware power calculations for the Australian solar industry.
“nearmap Solar is our second step following the recent launch of nearmap Rail to broaden our customer focus by meeting the needs of specific verticals and adding value to how these customers run their business,” said nearmap’s managing director, Simon Crowther.
Available for all nearmap subscribers, nearmap Solar combines nearmap’s PhotoMaps technology platform and measurement tools with the ability to precisely place virtual solar panels on a prospect’s roof. According to the company, it saves solar installation professionals time that would otherwise be spent visiting and measuring the roof in person.
The application features a library of more than 1000 Clean Energy Council (CEC)-approved solar panel templates and the ability to add and define additional custom panels. nearmap Solar enhances the quote report with photorealistic solar panels overlaid on a recently captured, high-resolution image of the prospect’s property. The application also features a location-aware solar power calculation report that demonstrates power output and cost savings data.
“No other tool can provide this highly competitive industry with the means to quote faster and increase revenue,” said Crowther. “In just a few clicks you can add virtual panels, calculate energy output and generate a detailed solar report. nearmap Solar can also be used for prospecting, preparing designs and installations as well as post-install audits, all through a web browser and without having to leave the office.”
