US Patent 11699261 Graphical user interface for controlling a solar ray mapping

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein to model divergent beam ray paths between locations on a roof (e.g., of a structure) and modeled locations of the sun at different times of the day and different days during a week, month, year, or another time period. A graphical user interface allows for visualization of the modeled ray paths and graphical manipulation of the resolution and parameters of the modeling process.
