Could you build this?

Partial The 3D roof-mapping and panel-layout UI can be vibe-coded with a 3D library. Accurate shading and production estimates need solar engineering models and irradiance data, which a vibe-coded build will not reliably supply.

What it would actually take: A real version would combine a 3D web editor (for example Three.js or a CAD-style kernel) with a solar layout engine and a shading model that ray-casts obstructions over the year. It would also need irradiance and weather datasets (such as NREL PVGIS or NSRDB) and manufacturer panel specifications. The accuracy claims require a solar engineer to validate the physics and the production math, and any sales-facing numbers need that validation.
