High resolution aerial imagery is provided in Pylon. A solar designer can calculate the dimensions of nearby objects using the length of their shadows and the azimuth of the sun at the time it was taken. They simply need to measure a shadow and Pylon creates a 3D model of the area surrounding the installation site. Year-round shading can then be predicted with minute-by-minute granularity. \n\nThe result is more accurate proposals, faster. \n\nPylon also includes a CRM which is designed to convert your sales pipeline.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/88d0740d-1d8b-4d0b-9ca9-4967f01a9d1a.png","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048793/pylon","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048793/pylon#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.6,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":25},"offers":{"price":"4","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048793/pylon#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Quoting Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/341/quoting/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Pylon","position":3,"item":"/software/2048793/pylon","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
