Is cheap, clean energy harnessed from the sun and applied straight to your electricity bill right for you?
Now, you can Google it to find out.
Google’s newest tool, Project Sunroof, combines the company’s aerial mapping technology with weather data to users to calculate just how much they’d benefit from investing in solar — and, ideally, to get them started on creating their own solar-powered dream homes. After receiving a custom recommendation for a solar installation size that could cover close to 100 percent of their energy needs and reviewing a simple break-down of different options for how to finance it, users who like what they see can also find information about local solar providers who can actually come and set the whole thing up.
