Answer by EricYou’re looking for RoofRay – http://www.roofray.com/
You can outline the roof, tell it the pitch, and it will figure out how much area you have available for solar panels and what they might produce in your area, assuming no shading issues.
You can also put in utility bills, and it will give you an estimate of savings, ROI, etc.
pvwatts, http://www.nrel.gov/rredc/pvwatts/ – can also run simulations on power output but lacks the fancy array-drawing tool.
