Auto Design
AI-powered auto design, with class-leading, 3rd-party validated accuracy and advanced shading analysis.

The world’s fastest, most accurate design technology
Ada automatically creates build-ready designs for you in seconds, using OpenSolar’s class-leading design technology, now powered by AI:
- Automated, fully rendered 3D designs
- Simple sketch tool on 2D imagery for when there’s no 3D imagery available, producing the same auto system design as with 3D
- Pitch, azimuth and shading calculated automatically – with no input from the user
- Auto designs automatically generate a bill of materials for every project
- Auto designs feed directly into the new, cutting edge Sales Machine customer proposal

Proven, class-leading accuracy
Independently verified by a leading US Government agency and leading engineering firm PVEL, OpenSolar’s design tool is proven to deliver results you can count on.
- Photogrammetry-based Digital Surface Map (DSM) technology eliminates the time-intensive and error-prone work of manually building site models
- Leading shading estimate accuracy verified by a leading US Government agency
- Performance calculation engine based on the trusted System Advisor Model of a leading US Government agency
- Trusted design outputs lead to accurate savings values and happy customers

Analyze year-round shading
Our automated shading analysis saves you time and gives you performance values you can trust:
- Auto-generated and bankable shading analysis values
- Dynamic solar tracing to model shading impacts through day/month/year
- Heatmaps and shade reports
- Sub-panel level shading analysis down to the sub-string to inform optimal equipment configurations

3D tools for every type of project
The most accurate solar design tool available, with full 3D modeling and automation, now also includes:
- Ability to design and sell commercial systems
- Global HD imagery coverage with 3D, 2D or custom properties
- Built-in modeling and measurement tool to design accurate systems where no imagery is available
- Roof plane and obstruction setting mode, with automated solar array placement

Multi-panel systems
Design Multiple Panel Types on the Same System:
- Model more complex installations where a single panel type cannot be used
- Assign different panel models to different arrays within the same design
- Works in the standard OS design process. Simply proceed with system design and proposal generation as normal
