\"\"The cost of solar power is at a record low. A typical solar home can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year on their electricity bill.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019 Project Sunroof is a new online tool which is helps homeowners explore whether they should go solar. Available in the San Francisco Bay Area, Fresno (in central California), and the Boston area for now, the tool uses high-resolution aerial mapping (the same used by Google Earth) to help calculate roof\u2019s solar energy potential, without having to climb up any ladders.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in one of Google\u2019s test regions, simply enter your address and Project Sunroof will crunch the numbers. It first figures out how much sunlight hits your rooftop throughout the year, taking into account factors like roof orientation, shade from trees and nearby buildings, and local weather patterns. You can also enter your typical electric bill amount to customize the results. The tool then combines all this information to estimate the amount you could potentially save with solar panels, and it can help connect you with local solar providers.<\/p>\n

Google has always been a big believer in zero-carbon energy, and solar power has been a central part of that vision — from accelerating the growth of rooftop solar, to helping finance the largest solar farm in Africa, to building one of America\u2019s biggest campus solar arrays here in Mountain View.<\/p>\n

While Project Sunroof is in a pilot phase for now, during the coming months Google will be exploring how to make the tool better and more widely available.<\/p>\n
