Calculate the length of shadow cast by a building

Determine the length of the shadow cast by your building, structure or solar panels from its GPS coordinates, its height and the date of the year.

Knowing the length of the shadow will enable you to plan the spacing between buildings and structures for your projects to avoid them casting shadows on each other.

The calculation is based on the angle of elevation of the sun and the height of your building.
