Solar power, more specially residential home solar systems, is an electric topic these days. Whether it be in the real estate industry or our personal circle, folks want to know more. Who isn't intrigued about producing their own energy and sending the unused energy back into the grid.

Without getting into specific solar goals (living off the grid, making money, being more environmentally friendly), there are very few resources available to research their own specific energy producing capabilities, without calling the experts to evaluate and analyze.

Google wants to change that with Project Sunroof. Here is the Introducing Project Sunroof video Google released today.

 

After watching the Project Sunroof's video, I had to test my south Arlington address. Like the video said, Project Sunroof isn't available in Washington yet. Phooey.

However, we have been doing some testing of our own.

On August 8, 2015, we posted a YouTube video to answer the question: how much shade does a south Marysville home get through the day. Using a GoPro, a 16.5hr timelapse video was made.
