Enter an address. We'll estimate how much sun a balcony or patio there could capture, check whether plug-in solar is legal at that address, and recommend a kit. This is a working proof of concept — see the notes at the bottom for what's simulated vs. real.
1. Enter an address
Geocoded live via OpenStreetMap Nominatim — this part is real, not simulated.
2. Your property, from above
Live aerial imagery via Esri World Imagery (Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics, and the GIS community) — a real snapshot of this address, not a placeholder. The pin marks the exact geocoded point.
3. A couple details about the space
☼
Not sure? Stand where the panel would go, look straight out from the building, and check that direction with your phone's compass app.
What's real here vs. simulated (Phase 1 prototype):
• Real: address geocoding (OpenStreetMap Nominatim, live), the aerial snapshot (Esri World Imagery satellite tiles, live, pinned to the exact geocoded point), the state legality dataset (hand-researched from public reporting, dated 2026-07-01), the kit catalog (real products/prices), and the sun-hours/savings math (uses standard solar-geometry derate factors and a peak-sun-hours-by-state table).
• Simplified, to upgrade in Phase 2: the sun-hours math is estimated from a state-level average plus orientation/floor adjustments — it doesn't yet read shading directly off the snapshot itself (neighboring buildings, trees, the roofline). That's exactly what integrating Google's Solar API (which fuses this same kind of imagery with real flux/shading data) would add on top of the picture you're already seeing here.
• Needs a compliance pass: a few state wattage caps (flagged inline below) came from secondary reporting that wasn't fully consistent across sources — treat exact numbers as "best current understanding," not verified legal fact, until checked against bill text.
