I spend much time modeling the surroundings of my project for shading impact

Your time is valuable, don't waste it on menial tasks. Our worldwide 3D data enables you to instantly view your building designs in their environment. Upload custom 3D models and adjust the provided 3D data to get best results.

Solar evaluation isn't always easy to preview and share in an interactive way

We made sharing and embedding easy! Quickly create an interactive preview for stakeholders and share it on any device.

Sometimes the sunlight exposure throughout the year won't be estimated correctly due to a missed mountain or large structure in medium distance

Make use of Shadowmap Studio's high-quality global 3D data, with a high-res digital twin and satellite imagery to never miss major obstruction impact within your project surroundings again.

To design for green buildings or BIPV, I need a comprehensive simulation tool

Shadowmap Studio has been designed with sustainable and green building in mind. The sun is a crucial factor for living in better synergy on our planet, and we're here for it – to make it happen.

I discovered this groundbreaking app that provides real-time sunlight predictions and accurate shading analysis, simulating the sun’s position globally.

With its user-friendly interface, this tool is a game changer for all levels of our organization: enhancing time efficiency, solving complex issues through precise modeling, and enabling early issue detection.

We incorporate the sun tours from Shadowmap into our project websites. This allows prospective builders to easily see how to position their terraces or balconies and roof pitches correctly for PV.

Shadowmap has helped me a lot! I also repeatedly compared the position of the sun (especially the shading) with the actual situation over a period of more than 2 weeks, and it is really cool how realistic it is – I think it would help many PV planners.

[…] Especially in alpine regions around Salzburg, we often encounter challenges — for example, with projects where, due to mountains, narrow valleys, or steep slopes, photovoltaic systems wouldn’t normally be considered.

Shadowmap allows us to make exactly these potentials visible. What used to be difficult to communicate can now be visualized impressively — creating trust and new opportunities.” […]
