Built on global 3D terrain and buildings data, Shadowmap enables accurate simulation of solar shadows for any moment in time, anywhere on Earth. It is not only intuitive and fast to use, but it also integrates a precise time-based Sun model to provide the basis for accurate light simulation. Just as the Sun impacts various facets of our lives, Shadowmap is the perfect planning- and research-tool for many areas:

REAL ESTATE & ARCHITECTURE

Use Shadowmap Pro to understand the natural lighting of a new house or apartment – throughout the year and seasons. Get confident before you make a decision and avoid unpleasant surprises. Speed up your preselection by evaluating properties remotely. Save time and – potentially – a lot of money.

«This is seriously cool, and I will definitely use this when I go house-hunting next. Living in Denmark where the sunlight is sparse most of the time.» — A.J.H.
«I visited an apartment today and now I know. You launched just at the right time! Perfect!» — Julie C.
«Amazing tool – helped me manage my flat hunt.» — Felix H.
«Living in Switzerland I assumed this wouldn't work because of the complexity with mountains, but this works really well. Great for planning where to live or even which side of the house would be the sunniest to eat outside.» — Calum W.

PHOTOGRAPHY & CINEMATOGRAPHY

«Wow! Absolutely love it! Must have for every photographer who’s shooting outside.» — Olena K., Streamer
«To all film makers! Gamechanger!» — David J., Director

We agree! You can navigate to any location on Earth and simulate the local light setting without being physically present. Great for remote location scouting and time planning – down to minute precision. With Shadowmap Pro and its unlocked camera, you can even see the Sun in the sky at its precise location.

SOLAR ENERGY

«I use this tool when planning photovoltaic systems.» — Jan D., Solar Engineer
«We had a site that was in a valley and your app helps us to see where the best location was going to be to maximize sunlight through the day.» — Robert T., Senior Property Consultant

Next to buildings, Shadowmap also takes terrain into account. This is crucial since hills and mountains can have a significant impact on average solar yields. Shadowmap helps you find the best location for any solar installation.

WHAT WILL YOU USE SHADOWMAP FOR?

Outdoor sports, urban gardening, solar cars – the possible applications for Shadowmap are endless. We cannot wait to see how you will use it!

«It’s like that famous virtual globe app but with adjustable date and time, sun and shadows!» — Michael J.
