Roof
Pitch, orientation, shading, and usable area become the solar envelope.
Studio Tool
Model the system
before you build it
Solar Studio turns roof, battery, and usage goals into a clear first plan so you can see system size, storage fit, and likely offset before moving into pricing or a home visit.
How it works
Three inputs, one clear plan
Storage
Battery size and reserve goals shape backup runtime and peak-hour coverage.
Usage
Your real consumption and rate plan set the targets the system is built around.
Example output
8.6 kW DC System size
12,430 kWh / year
13.5 kWh Battery
85% Offset
What you get
More than a sketch. A first real direction.
This is the bridge between curiosity and a buildable home energy plan: enough detail to understand what your roof, storage goals, and usage patterns are pointing toward before you talk numbers.
A recommended system size
Start with the usable roof, the home's orientation, and the actual production envelope instead of guessing from a bill.
A battery plan tied to control
Storage gets matched to reserve goals, backup expectations, and the shift from solar-only savings to true energy independence.
A first-pass production model
See how solar generation, storage, and self-consumption begin working together as one home power system.
A clearer monthly path
Use the assessment as the handoff into HELOC pricing so the plan becomes a real monthly number, not just a concept.
Sample screens
A clearer look at what Solar Studio is doing
These views make the tool feel more tangible: roof layout, production modeling, payment comparison, and the presentation layer that follows once the plan is ready to share.
Obstruction mapping
Street-view context and aerial layout working together so trees, pitch, and shade assumptions are visible instead of hidden.
Production modeling
Array layout paired with annual production and horizon data to show how the roof translates into real energy output.
Payment comparison
A simple read on current utility costs, projected solar payment, and long-term savings so the economics stay easy to grasp.
Proposal presentation
A live proposal view that turns the plan into something presentable once the system, numbers, and story are aligned.
Why it matters
The plan gets better when storage is part of the conversation
Mycrogrid's position is that solar was phase one. Storage is phase two. Solar Studio makes that shift visible by showing how generation, reserve power, and homeowner control fit together from the start.
Solar alone is not control
The Mycrogrid case is simple: panels can create energy, but storage is what changes the system and gives the homeowner real leverage.
Design around self-consumption
The goal is no longer exporting for permission-based credits. Produce it, store it, and use it on your terms at home.
Plan before the sales pressure
Solar Studio gives homeowners a calmer first step: roof, battery, usage, then a plan you can react to with context.
Built as an API
One modeling engine, three ways to use it
For homeowners
Turn roof, battery, and usage goals into a clear first plan — system size, production, storage, and offset — before you commit to anything.
For installers & partners
Drop Solar Studio into your own intake flow so leads arrive pre-modeled, with consistent assumptions and a shared starting point.
Developer API
A planned programmatic interface at gosolarstudio.io — send roof, storage, and usage inputs, receive a structured system plan back.
gosolarstudio.io — coming soon
The Solar Studio API is in development. The endpoint, docs, and access details will live at gosolarstudio.io. Want early access or to integrate it into your workflow?
Start with a clear plan
Model your home now, then turn the plan into a financed monthly payment.
