The In My Backyard (IMBY) tool estimates the electricity you can produce with a solar photovoltaic (PV) array at your home or business. Homeowners, businesses, and researchers use IMBY to develop quick estimates of renewable energy production at locations throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, and northern Mexico.

IMBY uses a map-based interface to allow you to choose the exact location of your PV array. Based on your location, system size, and other variables, IMBY estimates the electricity production you can expect from your system.

The In My Backyard tool was developed by NREL's Electricity, Resources, and Building Systems Integration Center.
