Scanifly

Scanifly provides drone-based solar design software that enables solar contractors to survey, design, and engineer PV systems with high accuracy. The platform combines drone-captured imagery with 3D modeling to create photorealistic site representations, allowing users to design solar arrays, simulate production, measure 3D angles, generate shade reports, and export permit-ready plan sets. Key features include AI-powered obstruction detection, real-time onsite shading analysis approved by major regulators and lenders, and integration with CRM and proposal tools. The software supports both remote preliminary designs using satellite imagery and drone-based final designs, reducing site survey time by up to 90% and eliminating revisions on install day. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cambridge, United States, Scanifly has raised approximately $2.3 million in Seed funding from investors including Lightbank, Runway Venture Partners, and SustainVC.
