Is there any way to preview the 3d model created from the floorplan? Some floorplans I have are a bit blurry and I have no idea how this will translate into floorplans so to have to pay $100+ without any guarantee of success is not ideal


The output will be the same quality as you can find on the landing page, it doesn't matter how blurry the original image, but if the original image is not working, you will be asked to upload a better one or simply refunded.


From solar panels that we track at my organization the solar generation decreased by ~90% at 90% cloud cover. Cloud cover isn't the most important metric, it's irradiance, but still a good indicator and so yes, in a storm the power generation will drop by atleast 90% probably


> in a storm the power generation will drop by atleast 90% probably

This is incorrect for several reasons first we care about Wind + Solar + Hydro not Solar alone.

8X % reduction in solar over 15 minutes sure, but track full days output and it’s not 90% across the full day. Similarly you rarely see 100% of theoretical output over a full day, so it’s really the delta between expected output and minimum output that matters.

Also, you don’t build exactly as much generation as you would need assuming 100% output every single day. That’s just as true for Nuclear/coal etc as it is Solar / wind. Redundancy has a cost, but it can effectively guarantee a surplus.
