# Scanifly

> Scanifly is a New Jersey-based B2B software company that helps solar contractors design and survey photovoltaic systems using drone imagery, photogrammetry, and AI. Its cloud platform turns a five-minute drone flight or remote satellite/LiDAR data into a to-scale 3D model accurate to within 1-3 inches, then generates layouts, shading reports, and permit-ready plan sets. Contractors use it from pre-sale proposals through post-sale final design to cut survey and design time by as much as 90% and reduce costly change orders on install day.

- **Founded:** 2015
- **Headquarters:** Hightstown, New Jersey, United States
- **Founders:** Jason Steinberg (CEO (joined 2018)), John J. Novak (Co-founder), Denis Kobozev (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** ~23 employees
- **Products:** PV Design (PrelimDesign & DroneDesign), Field Ops mobile app, Design Services, Viewshed shading analysis, Integrations & Proposal tool
- **Notable:** 150,000+ solar projects designed on the platform, Survey and design time reduced by as much as 90% for users, 3D models accurate to within 1-3 inches of hand measurements

## Products & services

- **PV Design (PrelimDesign & DroneDesign)** — Remote solar designs (PrelimDesign) built from satellite, Nearmap, and LiDAR imagery for sales quotes, plus drone-based designs (DroneDesign) using photogrammetry and AI for onsite accuracy and real-time shading. Produces to-scale 3D models accurate to within 1-3 inches.
- **Field Ops mobile app** — iOS/Android app purpose-built for solar field operations, with 10+ industry-standard checklist templates, photo annotation, and direct drone-image submission. Free with any design subscription.
- **Design Services** — Expert-provided design work delivering permit-ready, stamped plan sets, with turnaround as fast as 48 hours from survey.
- **Viewshed shading analysis** — Proprietary onsite real-time shading analysis comparable to Solmetric SunEye and Solar Pathfinder, accepted by major regulators and lenders.
- **Integrations & Proposal tool** — Connections with CRM, proposal, and racking partners (EnergySage, Enerflo, Pipe Solar) plus a native solar proposal tool launched to complement its design platform.
