EtaGen simplifies the solar sales process by bridging the gap between complex simulation tools and potential customers. It offers an intuitive platform that lets building owners quickly visualise their property’s solar potential.
The frontend is built with React, using Three.js for 3D model handling and visualisation, MapBox for map integration and roof data, and Chart.js for data presentation.
On the backend, I developed algorithms in FastAPI to optimise panel placement, maximising usable space while complying with local regulations. Simulated outcomes were benchmarked against real-world data, and the software also provides detailed financial projections and return-on-investment calculations to support decision-making.
