Solar installation company, Ecovision, has launched a ‘Solar Calculator’, which allows a user to measure their roof’s capacity through Google satellite images, for the most accurate reading.

The company says the internet tool can quickly work out what a roof can earn and at what cost to the user. Once used, Ecovision then send a user two quotes detailing the size of the panels they can fit and to how much they will charge.

Jeff Ryder, Project Manager at Ecovision said: “I wanted to create an online tool that could accurately calculate the cost and return from solar panels, from the total or part portion of an individual’s roof space offering the most beneficial solution, not just the largest.”
