“Exayard calculates panel layouts and kW capacity in minutes. We used to spend half a day on each roof.”
“The wiring run measurements are dead accurate. No more climbing on roofs just to estimate conduit lengths.”
“We tripled our proposal volume this year. Exayard lets our team turn around residential quotes same-day.”

What is solar estimating software?
Solar takeoff software helps renewable energy contractors quantify panel counts, calculate usable roof areas, measure conduit and wire runs, and determine equipment quantities from site plans and electrical drawings. Solar installers and EPC firms use it to estimate how many panels fit on a given roof area or ground-mount structure, accounting for setbacks, obstructions, and shading zones. It also quantifies the balance-of-system components — inverters, disconnects, combiner boxes, conduit, and wire — that represent a significant portion of installation cost. Manual takeoffs from plan sets are time-consuming and often miss conduit routing details that impact labor estimates.
AI-powered solar takeoff software like Exayard reads roof plans, site layouts, and electrical single-line diagrams to automatically count panels, calculate array areas, and measure conduit runs by size. The AI identifies equipment from electrical schedules and counts disconnects, inverters, and combiner boxes. For rooftop systems, it recognizes usable roof zones after accounting for fire code setbacks, vents, and HVAC equipment. This allows estimators to produce accurate material lists without manually counting panels row by row or tracing conduit paths across multiple sheets. Solar contractors using AI-assisted takeoffs report completing proposals 40-60% faster, enabling them to respond to more RFPs during peak bidding season.
