EagleView, a provider of aerial imagery and analytics, and Aurora Solar, a platform for solar sales and design, announced the launch of EagleView Powered models through the Aurora Solar Platform.
This new modeling capability is the result of the partnership between the two companies when, in March of this year, it was announced that Aurora would make use of EagleView’s high-resolution imagery taken from its aircraft fleet.
Aurora Solar, established in 2013, offers a cloud-based platform that uses lidar-based vision and machine learning algorithms to streamline the process of selling solar.
By adding EagleView’s 3D home modelling technology into Aurora’s platform, Aurora reports it can provide roof models that predict final details of the project installation and solar electricity production output for homeowners.
“We understand that improvements in cost and trust are essential to the growth and healthy functioning of the solar industry,” shared Piers Dormeyer, CEO of EagleView. “We know we can help solve this challenge because we’re in our third decade doing the exact same thing in roofing and insurance.”
EagleView can leverage oblique and orthogonal imagery. The company said it has used its patented technologies to develop over three billion images. It provides “truth in accurate property measurement and analytics solutions” not only in the solar industry with Aurora but also in roofing, insurance and other industries.
EagleView reports that its geospatial data and imagery library encompasses 94% of the U.S. population and that its technology portfolio comprises more than 300 patents.
