Data Dictionary: Building & Solar Metrics 🌞

Building Details

• Roof Area: An essential data point that calculates the total roof area in square feet, taking into account the tilt of the roof. This figure is particularly useful for understanding the availability of space for solar panel installations or other rooftop amenities. 🛠️ (Note: This metric is in beta; allow for up to a 20% margin of error based on imagery quality.)
• Ground Area: Representing the footprint area of the building in square feet, this metric is crucial for land-use planning and property evaluation. 🌆
• Roofing Squares: Tailored for the roofing industry, this metric converts the roof area into "roofing squares," a standard unit used for estimating roofing materials. 🏗️

Solar Metrics

• Sunshine Hours/Year: A luminous metric that quantifies the annual sunshine hours any point on the roof receives. It serves as an indispensable guide for gauging the solar potential of your edifice. 🌞
• Max Panels Count: This data point shines by indicating the maximum number of solar panels your roof can host, facilitating your journey toward sustainable energy. ☀️
• Potential Energy Savings/Year: Here's where the rubber meets the road—or rather, where the sun meets the panel. This metric estimates the annual energy savings achievable with a full solar panel installation. 🌍

Panel Layout

• Panel Capacity: The electrical capacity of a single panel measured in watts. This information powers your understanding of potential energy output. ⚡
• Panel Height & Panel Width: These dimensions in meters are your blueprint for solar installation planning. They ensure your panel layout is both efficient and compliant with any structural constraints. 📏
