Homeowners replacing a roof are at the single best moment to consider solar — and the roofer standing in their driveway is the best-positioned person to bring it up. Rooftops AI includes solar potential analysis in every roof report: usable panel area, sun exposure from 3D modeling, and estimated savings. You don't need to become a solar company; you need one more page in the report that opens the conversation.

Rough panel count and production from usable south-ish roof area.
Planning math at 75% area utilization. A Rooftops AI report uses Google Solar data for the actual roof: per-facet orientation, pitch, shading, and panel-by-panel production.
Solar analysis rides along with every measurement report — same address search, no extra step.
Usable roof area, panel capacity, sunshine hours, and estimated production based on the roof's actual geometry and orientation.
Quote the roof, then show the solar page. Even a 'not now' plants the seed for the callback.
Solar potential uses the same 3D elevation data as your measurements — per-facet orientation and pitch, not a generic guess.
Estimated production and savings framed in plain dollars, ready to show at the kitchen table.
It's a section of the report you already ran — no second tool, no second data entry.
If you refer solar out, the report gives your partner everything they need to quote quickly.
Every reroof is a solar decision whether anyone says it or not: panels installed on a roof with ten years left mean paying for detach-and-reset when the roof is replaced. Homeowners increasingly know this, so the roofer who can speak to solar potential at the reroof conversation owns a bigger decision, sometimes a bigger ticket, and always more trust. You do not need to sell panels to profit from the analysis; you need to be the contractor who brought data.
The pitch is simple: replace the roof now, and here is what this exact roof could produce if you go solar next year, from measured facets and real sun data rather than a marketing brochure.
Real solar analysis is per-facet: orientation (south-facing facets in the northern hemisphere carry the production), pitch (which sets the panel angle), shading over the year, and usable area after setbacks and obstructions. From that comes panel count, system size in kilowatts, and estimated annual production in kilowatt-hours. The quick check above approximates this with area and region; the full report in Rooftops AI uses Google's solar dataset for the actual roof, facet by facet.
The same facet data serves the roofing side: a roof optimized for solar wants its penetrations and vents planned away from the production facets, which is a detail worth deciding at replacement time, not after.
Concrete beats abstract. A statement like this roof can hold roughly 24 panels for about 9.6 kW producing around 13,000 kWh a year turns a vague someday-solar idea into a decision with numbers, and positions your reroof as the enabling step. For homes with aging roofs and good south exposure, pairing the replacement bid with the solar readout measurably lifts engagement, because the homeowner is suddenly looking at an asset, not an expense.
Keep the claims calibrated: production estimates are modeling, utility rates vary, and incentives change. Present ranges, cite the data source, and let the numbers be impressive on their own.
Your first 3 full roof reports are on us. No credit card required.
No. Many roofers use the solar page purely as a differentiator and referral source — it makes your report more valuable than a bare measurement PDF either way.
High-resolution 3D elevation and solar irradiance modeling, applied to the property's actual roof geometry and orientation.
Yes — solar potential is part of the standard report, including your 3 free ones.
Yes, it's part of the report and proposal you share — formatted for a homeowner audience.
