Nik,
Check out Google Sketch Up. You can use it in conjunction with Google Earth to designate your location and apply shading. The free version will probably give you want you want and it doesn't take too long to learn the program.

Does anyone have suggestions about easy calculations for inter-row spacing? It's more complicated than the flat-roof or low pitch south-facing roofs. Seems like there ought to be some fancy 3D modeling software for PV designers that could do this in a few key strokes... Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -Nik Ponzio -- Nicholas Ponzio Building Energy 1570 South Brownell Road Williston, VT 05495 t: 802-859-3384 f: 802-658-3982 www.BuildingEnergyVT.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Building Solutions for a Sustainable Future" Internal Virus Database is out of date.
