An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solar irradiation assessment system may automate several design parameters of solar panel design, cost and payoff estimations, and installation. The system models a structure and surrounding obstacles in a three-dimensional space. The system maps ray paths between each of a plurality of locations on a roof of a structure and modeled locations of the sun at various time intervals during a selected time period to determine the solar irradiance at various locations. Obstacles modeled in three-dimensional space that block the ray-paths during some or all of the various time intervals result in decreased solar irradiance values for the affected locations on the roof. A visual model of the roof may be shown with a heatmap of irradiance values and/or a graphical placement of solar panels.
