By using Pix4Dsurvey for the installation of solar panels on a roof, the Borbas team reduced their digitizing efforts by 50%.

In the last few years, solar power has proven to be a clean and economical alternative to fossil fuels. Today, in the U.S, an estimated four million students attend schools with a form of solar power which subsequently results in an increase in rooftop solar panel installations.
