#13So Google isn't trying to replicate Solar City, this is just an analysis tool if your home would be viable for solar panels. Almost like a middle-man for solar panel providers?

Re: Project Sunroof
#16How do they make these maps?
Do they have satellite images of different points of (sunny) days and run the analysis that way?
Re: Project Sunroof
#17Wow. I can't believe how expensive solar panels are. This really is a great tool to give you an idea how much solar panels would cost. What about wind... does anyone know of any affordable residential wind turbine solutions?

#18Weird, it says it covers Boston but when I put my Boston address (single family in the city of Boston itself) it says they haven't reached the address yet.

Residential wind has some issues:
1) Performance - best performance is when the wind blows in a straight line, houses and other features will deflect it making it turbulent.
2) Noise - turbines are noisy, you're not likely to have neighbors appreciate it.
3) Mounting - Mounting one requires either a pole, or it can be mounted to the roof. However, roof mountings tend to cause issues (read damage) due to vibrations transferred through the mounting.
Not good for a residential neighborhood, but perhaps if you've got several acres of clear land?
