# Solar panel roof scan API

The API is designed to assist in the planning and optimization of solar panel installations on rooftops. It facilitates the simulation of fitting solar panels on building rooftops by leveraging 3D geometrical data and advanced calculation algorithms to optimize solar panel placement. The API also generates temporary URLs for images that visually represent these simulations, providing a comprehensive view of potential installations.

### Two functions of the solar panel roof scan

1. Calculates maximum capacity for solar panels and its returns for every roof surface
2. Given an n input of solar panels, calculates optimal placement and returns
