Claim 0:
1. A system to determine solar exposure on a roof of a structure, comprising:
a mobile device with a camera to capture images relative to a structure, including a portion of a roof of the structure;
an imaging subsystem to utilize images captured by the camera to identify:
an existing obstruction proximate the structure identified to cast a first shadow on the portion of the portion of the roof of the structure for a first amount of time during a current month, and
a future obstruction proximate the structure that:
is not estimated to cast a shadow on the portion of the roof of the structure during the current month, and
is estimated to cast a second shadow on the portion of the roof of the structure for a second amount of time at a future date; and

an irradiance exposure subsystem to calculate a total irradiance on the portion of the roof of the structure during a time period based, at least in part, on the first shadow of the existing obstruction and the estimated second shadow of the future obstruction.
