Sunfield – Solar Farm Generator for Blender

Photoreal solar farms on terrain and rooftop solar arrays

Sunfield builds photorealistic solar power plants and rooftop solar arrays inside Blender. Pick a starting point (a utility tracker farm, fixed-tilt tables on a meadow, a desert bifacial plant, a thin-film field, an agrivoltaic fence, a family house, a warehouse roof or a farm barn) and change anything: rows, modules, mount, tilt, ground, building and condition. Everything rebuilds live in a fraction of a second, even plants with thousands of modules.

Every part is modeled after real plants. Single-axis trackers stand on driven piles with bearings, a slew drive, dampers and module rails, and they turn east to west from one slider or follow the sun over your animation. Fixed tables have front and rear posts, rafters, purlins and clamps. Dual-axis trackers sit on pedestal poles; east-west ridges and vertical bifacial fences cover the dense and agrivoltaic layouts.

Modules carry real cell layouts: half-cut mono cells with busbars, blue polycrystalline cells, all-black panels, frameless thin film and bifacial glass, with dust and age you control. The site gets rolling terrain from Poly Haven ground photos, gravel roads, inverter stations on concrete pads, a chain-link fence with barbed wire and a gate, CCTV poles and a weather station.

Rooftops get gable and hip houses with tiles, slate or metal, flat commercial roofs with ballasted rows or east-west pairs, metal barns, or your own building mesh. Arrays keep clear of chimneys, vents and roof edges like real installers do.

Drag a slider, the plant rebuilds

Rows, modules and tracker angle are plain sliders in the sidebar. Thousands of modules follow live while you drag.

Surprise Me

One click makes a new plant or rooftop: tracker fields, fixed tables, east-west ridges, family houses and commercial roofs.

Trackers follow the sun

Single-axis rows turn east to west from one slider, or press Animate and they follow the sun over your frame range.

5 mount types

Fixed tilt, single-axis trackers, dual-axis pedestals, east-west ridges and vertical bifacial fences, each with its real structure.

Features

  • 14 presets: 8 ground plants and 6 rooftops, with a Surprise Me button
  • Fixed tilt, single-axis tracker, dual-axis, east-west and vertical bifacial mounts
  • Animate Sun Tracking keyframes every tracker for a day in one click
  • 6 module types with real cell layouts, frames, junction boxes and cables
  • Terrain, roads, inverter stations, fence, gate, cameras and weather station
  • Gable, hip, flat and barn roofs, or fill the roof faces of your own mesh
  • Arrays avoid chimneys, vents and HVAC units and keep code setbacks
  • Lightweight: modules are Geometry Nodes instances; Convert to Mesh for export
  • Photoreal PBR materials that work in Cycles, EEVEE and game engines

Requires Blender 4.2 or newer. Tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Install in under a minute (Blender 4.2+)

  1. In Blender open Edit › Preferences › Get Extensions.
  2. Open the arrow menu at the top right and choose Install from Disk.
  3. Pick the downloaded zip. Do not unzip it.

Questions

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Can it handle large plants?

Yes. Modules and structure are Geometry Nodes instances of a few prototype parts, so plants with tens of thousands of modules stay light and rebuild quickly.

Can I put panels on my own building?

Yes. Choose Your Object as the building and pick your mesh: every upward-facing roof face gets an array with rails and clamps.
