Quickstart

A short video overview of the product, with links to where to start.

A 5-minute video walkthrough of SolarLayout is in production. We'll post it here when it's ready.

The hands-on path

The fastest way to learn SolarLayout is to use it on a real KMZ. The full quickstart takes about 10 minutes:

Your first layout — step-by-step, KMZ in, finished layout out.

If you don't have a KMZ yet, start with KMZ requirements — making one in Google Earth takes about 5 minutes.

What the video will cover

When it ships, the 5-minute video will walk through:

  • What SolarLayout is and who it's for (~45 sec)
  • KMZ in, layout out (~90 sec) — the core workflow
  • Reading your energy report (~60 sec) — DC capacity, AC capacity, P50/P90
  • Exporting your bid pack (~60 sec) — PDF, KMZ, DXF
  • Where to go next (~30 sec) — common follow-up tasks

A transcript will appear below the embed when the video is published — useful if you'd rather read than watch.
