Aurora Solar debuts Helioscope Similar Obstruction Detection feature
As C&I solar projects get bigger and more complex, the challenge of managing numerous obstructions — everything from HVAC units to vents — has become increasingly daunting. Traditionally, finding and creating keepouts for these obstructions has been a time-consuming, manual task, extending design timelines and creating inefficiencies.
Aurora Solar sent word that it is launching HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection at RE+ in September (Booth A59079). Built with Aurora Solar’s proprietary AI technology, HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection streamlines the process of identifying and creating “keepouts” — or areas where modules should not be placed, such as a skylight — for rooftop obstructions in commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects.
Paul Grana, GM, HelioSope at Aurora Solar said, “By integrating Aurora’s state-of-the-art AI technology in HelioScope, we’re expanding our capabilities as the world’s most trusted solar software, providing a solution that speeds up the design process, and enhances the accuracy of preliminary designs.”
HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection
- What typically takes 10-15 minutes to do manually can now be automated in just 10-15 seconds.
- By automating detection and keepout creation processes, solar developers and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction companies (EPCs) can accelerate their design timelines, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks and deliver more proposals.
- While AI-based obstruction detection is not new to residential solar, its use in C&I solar has been limited to small rooftop projects. With the introduction of HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection, C&I solar professionals will be able to confidently automate the accurate detection and creation of keepouts on even the largest rooftops systems.
