Many homeowners aren’t sure if they will be able to bring big savings if they convert to solar energy. A team of Google engineers launched a new tool that can help that.
Titled Project Sunroof, the tool offers high-resolution aerial maps, like the one used in Google Earth, to estimate the total sunlight a rooftop receives throughout the year, CityLab reports.
Users can then learn how much they can expect to save with solar panels, and offers calculators with different financing plans.
