Skelion

Skelion is a plugin that gives Google SketchUp the ability to insert solar panels as well as develop renewable solar energy studies. It can easily design residential installations or ground mount power plants in a few clicks using Sketchup and Google Earth.

Skelion's mission is to help solar PV Designers, Engineers, Architects, and other Google SketchUp Users to design solar photovoltaic systems in a faster and more efficient way.

It also allows you to create your own 3D components and import them to your model, as well as customize the existing database of solar panels.

Skellion was purposely created to facilitate the insertion of a solar panel in any roof design. For example, if a model was already set up but along the way was decided that the construction should have photovoltaic systems, use Skelion to load the original sketch and simply add solar panels to it.

TO sum it up, Skelion is a plugin for Google Sketchup, that allows you to add solar panels to 3D building models. The plugin can also be used with Google Earth and will dd solar panels to any building you need. Recommended for designers and architects as it's a good simulator for adding renewable energy panels to any building.
