When reviewing an GUID-2043E09F-40E5-4155-AE28-134F62E54F54.htm#WS73099CC142F487552C60378B128B24194AD655E in the Results and Compare dialog, this table summarizes the amount of electricity that the building site could produce using solar panels and wind turbines. These analyses are based on data from the weather station specified for the project location.

Vasari analyzes all roof surfaces for their estimated potential to generate electricity using photovoltaic (PV or solar electric) panels. The table presents 3 different levels of efficiency, reflecting the PV system's ability to convert sunlight into electricity.

Wind energy potential is estimated based on the annual amount of electricity that can be generated from one 15-foot-diameter wind turbine of horizontal axis design. The estimate uses cut-in and cut-out winds of 6 and 45 miles per hour (mph) respectively, located at the coordinates of the weather data.
