Pinecrest Valley Solar Project

Real-time interactive layout review for the proposed 42 MW DC fixed-tilt ground-mount PV installation. Adjust panel tilt and row pitch to model inter-row shading loss, ground coverage ratio, and DC energy yield — directly visualized against live solar geometry at lat 35.5°N. Exactly the kind of tool your clients expect to see.

Showcase Prototype
This is not a live project portal.
Hi, this is Tommy. This showcase is built by myself to show solar developers what their own site assessment tools could look like. The sun-path shadow model, yield projections, GCR calculator, and 3D configurator are all working code — ready to be adapted to your site data, module stack, and project pipeline.
