CAD Solar SketchUp Design Layout For Shading Issues

I use a CAD program for optimum Solar Panel Layout for the challenging buildings in the StLouis Region. This allows me to remove the Panels that are affected by Shading Issues. I then Place the CAD drawing onto a Google Earth Location and can provide a Clean Energy Output Report based on the location in relation to the Suns Position on the Location.

Step One Design the Building for Solar Array

Install Solar Modules 'Notice Shading Area'

Remove Solar Panels Located in the Shaded Portions

Insert SketchUp CAD Design into Google Earth for
Clean Energy Production Report

April 29, 2018 update: Sketchup CAD drafting program was sold to Trimble after posting these images- Trimble CAD 3d modeling system

CAD Detail of Garage Footing Under Construction

This CAD Drawing by Scotty-Scotts Contracting outlines how I feel a Garage Footing and Foundation Should be built. Note: Additional Rebar for Support and Strength, True Brick Ledge, and Keyway all add strength to the Foundation. Not the Bare minimum that I was asked to build- in the Second Photo.

"If you want a building to stand up to the test of time how intelligent of choice is it to: skimp on $200 Worth of Materials & $300 worth of Labor?"
