A Remote Solar Survey is Absolar's AI and LiDAR-powered feasibility assessment. It tells you whether solar works for your building, without a site visit.
We only need your building address, and in 2 working days, you'll get a full report covering installation costs, savings, payback and finance options.
Building analysis presented in easy-to-read reports with no jargon.
Detailed insights including project cost, financial benefits, and system design.
Straightforward recommendations you can act on right away.
Accurate data, trusted by high-street banks to give you total confidence.
Powered by 3rd-generation AI, our remote solar assessment checks if your building is suitable to install solar PV systems. It brings you a remote assessment report within 2 working days.
All it needs is the building address and an email address so it can send you the report.
If your building has half-hourly energy meter, our model is able to fetch your latest energy data and integrate into financial projections.
Key features
Present scientific results to you in an easy-to-understand format - the report shows key information such as installation costs, estimated annual savings, and investment performance.
The report can be viewed on any device, and you can download a PDF version to share with colleagues.
Key features
Our machine learning model is developed to recognise building features and aspects that affect the design of solar PV systems. More importantly, the model is continuously trained so it's getting more and more accurate every single day."

The science park was exploring a more environmentally-friendly way of working that positively impacts the environment and the businesses residing across the park.
A Remote Solar Survey is Absolar's AI and LiDAR-powered feasibility assessment, carried out with no site visit required. Using LiDAR, photogrammetry, satellite imagery and AI-powered irradiance modelling, we assess your building's roof, shading and energy use. Every result is reviewed by our experienced solar designers and engineers before it reaches you.
Our AI tool identifies:
LiDAR scanning captures a building's roof in 3D detail, including features like skylights, vents and flues that satellite imagery alone can miss. Combined with AI-powered irradiance modelling and a manual review by our solar engineers, this gives an assessment accurate enough to be used by high-street banks. If half-hourly energy meter data is available for your building, our model integrates it directly into the financial projections.
A Remote Solar Survey is provided free of charge to the end user. This is made possible through Absolar's partnerships with organisations that support faster, wider adoption of solar assessment for commercial property.
Absolar assesses commercial and business premises anywhere in the UK. Properties with a footprint over 200m² and annual electricity consumption above 50,000kWh see the strongest economic case for solar, though smaller premises can still benefit from an assessment. For residential portfolios, contact us directly to discuss.
Absolar's technology can assess large areas, including entire cities, in a short period of time, making it suited to portfolio-scale assessment. Email survey@absolar.co.uk with details of your portfolio for a tailored assessment.
Yes. Following your Remote Solar Survey, Absolar's engineering team can take your project through design, procurement, installation and ongoing maintenance.
