What is a 3D rendering for solar panel installations?

3D renderings can be an incredibly useful tool when planning solar panel systems and arrays, especially in regards to how they will look when installed on commercial or residential properties. In this article we show some examples and explain the process involved in getting a rendering for solar panel installations created.

Can commercial architectural rendering services help design a solar array?

There are a number of ways that commercial architectural rendering services can be useful in the process of designing a solar array. Here are just a few:

What are the benefits of 3D renderings for residential systems?

Another benefit of 3D renderings for residential systems is the ability to create 3D simulations of the movement of the sun throughout the year over the solar power system you’re proposing to add to your property.

Why should I get a 3D rendering of my panels?

For this reason alone it can be a good idea to get a 3D rendering of how your panels will look on your property. This may be important not just for you but also for your relationships with your neighbors. Another important factor to consider for residential properties is the neighboring buildings, trees etc.

How much space does a photovoltaic module occupy?

Photovoltaic modules installed on a sloping roof or facade occupy an area of approximately 8 m2/kWp. Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules.

How much space does a photovoltaic system need?

Photovoltaic modules installed on the ground or on a flat surface occupy an area of approximately 20 m2/kWp, avoiding shading between the rows of modules. The design of a photovoltaic system, from the public operator’s network to the photovoltaic modules, requires careful planning and compliance with local regulations.
