We were considering building a new home, and Shadowmap stopped us from buying a lot that was in a very dark place, where we would have lost +2 hours of possible sunlight every day. Instead we were able to find and buy a house with ample sunlight, and are grateful Shadowmap let us project the sunlight in both locations yearround. Highly recommended if you’re looking to make a home purchase!

Great for apartment hunting!
I found this when looking for an apartment and it's amazing how well it can show the amount of light that rooms will get at any given time of the year! Helped me a lot in making a choice!
