(Case Study 03)
SUNLEAD
(The brief)
Sunlead is a US-based solar energy company. Their challenge was simple to state and hard to solve. Open-field panels lose efficiency when angles are wrong. Panels near trees lose efficiency to shade. The standard fix was cutting trees down. Sunlead wanted a smarter answer.
(What We Built)
Algorithms that think like architects. A radiation optimization model to calculate the best angle and position for every panel to capture maximum sunlight year-round. A tree-aware placement system working around existing trees instead of removing them. A structured database underneath it all to store, process, and scale placement and performance data across projects.
(What Stuck)
Panels capture more energy without costing more. Trees stay standing. Sunlead now has a repeatable system that gets smarter with every field it touches.
