INTERACTIVE SHADOW MAP
Make the sun path visible across the property
Move through time instead of checking one moment and see which areas are shaded in the morning, at noon or during winter.

Anonymised sample data
Loads building floor plans in the area and projects their shadows at the selected time.
1Shows sun height, shadow length and direct sun windows for the entire day.
2Plays the course of the day and offers quick selection for summer and winter solstices.
3Adds trees, walls or other obstacles directly to the map.
4Allows estimated building heights to be checked, corrected or removed from the calculation.
5Passes relative shadow profiles to solar string planning.

How to inspect shading
- 01
Load environment
Wertify searches for the buildings around the saved address and marks your own building.
- 02
Check heights
Check particularly close buildings. Estimated heights can be corrected directly.
- 03
Add obstacles
Place trees, walls or clear obstacles on the map and enter approximate dimensions.
- 04
Compare day and season
Move the time slider or start the animation. In particular, compare winter and summer.
- 05
Save scene
Save the checked environment to the object. The solar planner can then use the same shadow profiles for strings and MPPT groups.
TRANSPARENT CALCULATION
Open map data remains reviewable
Missing heights, trees or walls are not treated as facts. Estimates remain visible and can be adjusted by you.
Much open map data does not include measured building height. Wertify therefore labels estimated values and makes them editable.
Trees, terrain, roof structures and new buildings may be missing and must be added if necessary.
The 2.5D projection is a planning view and not a survey, construction guarantee or professional shading study.
Apartments can check the surroundings; Changes to the shared roof remain the responsibility of the condominium owner.

Common questions about sunlight and shade
Are the shadows accurate?+
No. The position of the sun and projection are calculated geometrically, but the quality depends on the building floor plans and heights. Missing or estimated data remains visibly marked.
Does this make the solar yield more accurate?+
The shadow profiles help with area and string groups. The official BFE roof yield already takes terrain, buildings and vegetation into account; Wertify therefore does not deduct the same shadow again across the board.
Can I draw my own trees or walls?+
Yes. Position, width, depth, height and rotation can be recorded and changed again later.
