BIPV Energy Yield API
BIPV Energy Yield API — solar modeling for engineers
What it does
BIPV Energy Yield API helps developers and engineers model solar energy performance for building-integrated photovoltaics. The API estimates: • annual energy yield • performance ratio • solar system efficiency • financial metrics such as LCOE, NPV, and IRR • CO₂ savings and environmental impact Models are based on peer-reviewed research and validated against IEC, EN, and IEA PVPS methodologies. Designed for developers building solar software, energy platforms, and engineering tools.

- HAHomemade automated solar concentrator2024 · github.com · ▲296
Hi HN! I quit my job two years ago to have more time to work on my side projects. The main one is an automated solar concentrator. I've just open-sourced it, it's not perfect nor finished, and I still have a lot of ideas for further development, but I'm interested in knowing what you think of it. There are many applications where concentrated solar power could be a viable environmental and economic solution, I hope this technology will one day be more widely used. Feel free to give any feedback and ask questions.
- HWHelios – what plug-in solar could generate for any address in BritainMay 2026 · helios.southlondonscientific.com · ▲126
Plug-in solar panels (no electrician needed) have just become legal in the UK and will go on sale soon. Helios estimates how much electricity a typical installation could generate at a given address and what that's worth against your tariff. It uses UK government LIDAR data to reflect the actual skyline, so it knows whether there's a building or a hill blocking the sun. Caveats: - Outside LIDAR coverage (most of Scotland and Wales) it falls back to a synthetic horizon (less accurate). - Trees and recent developments (post-2022 or so) may not be in the data, and some address placements could…
