SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solar businesses, installers and designers supporting the US$10.8bn solar industry will now benefit from artificial intelligence data sets, access to a wide range of solar design tools, and better API integration, following a renewed solar push in North America by leading aerial imagery and location intelligence company Nearmap.

Nearmap supports solar customers in North America to identify and qualify leads, more accurately estimate the solar power potential of properties, and plan and design installations.

Tony Agresta, General Manager of North America, Nearmap said: “We’ve learned from an overwhelming majority of our customers that they want to choose how they use Nearmap content in their business. This includes having the flexibility to access properties instantly through Nearmap MapBrowser, or via solar solution providers that deliver on their own platforms solar designs, proposals and cost saving estimates. The solar market is highly competitive, with many software providers creating specific tools to improve the workflows of solar professionals. Nearmap is responding by adding flexibility, better integrations, and market-leading content – including high-resolution aerial imagery and Artificial Intelligence data sets – to better support our solar customers in North America.”

Solar customers can now access Nearmap artificial intelligence (AI) data sets to help them make faster and more accurate decisions. This will also support their workflows to improve the performance of their sales and services teams. With ‘Nearmap AI’, solar installers and designers can visualize properties remotely, instantly view solar panels and vegetation layers, and clearly visualize how these attributes can assist their projects.

Nearmap AI is built on a rich layer of content that uses machine learning to turn Nearmap high resolution imagery into information and insights, creating one of the most accurate and richest AI offerings in the market.

What this means for customers is that they can analyze huge numbers of properties and areas efficiently, without a person needing to look at the imagery. Customers can integrate the AI data directly into their applications to pull data for any property at a specific location and point in time, within seconds.
