High-res imagery is important for solar consultants because it allows you to work remotely to create a solar system and assess shading. The better your imagery is, the better the quality of your solar system will be.

Most solar design software use high-res imagery, but one size does not fit all.

Imagery is usually graded like this:

• Low-res imagery (Google Earth, 50cm–1m per pixel)
• Medium-res imagery (30cm per pixel)
• High-res Imagery (7.5–15cm per pixel)

The quality of your imagery dictates the accuracy of your design.

With high-res imagery like what you find in Pylon, you can see a leaf on a rooftop. This level of granularity makes measurements precise.

In Australia, Pylon has 90% coverage of high-res imagery, and 80% coverage in the USA.

Cost

Most solar design software charge you a monthly fee per user to get access to high-res imagery.

Others are free, but require you to sign up with an imagery provider, which will lock you into a contract where you need to pay monthly fees.

With Pylon, you can get high-res imagery for $0 Monthly Fees. Pay $4 per project and get the best imagery with the best coverage so you can design accurate solar proposals for your clients from anywhere.
