Thanks to Google’s Project Sunroof, homeowners and builders will have little guessing to do when it comes to installing solar energy panels for a home. Builders were always running into questions such as how many panels should be installed, who installs them, what the energy cost savings would actually amount to, and of course, “does my house get enough sunlight?”

Google noticed the popular search terms and decided to help out. They’ve created a solar energy map that can measure annual sunlight, calculate energy savings, and recommend installers based on location.  It’s new, so it hasn’t come to Canada yet, but there is potential based on early success rate.
