Solar access and shading information with the fouch of a buttonThe Solmetric SunEye (patent pending) is a hand held electronic device that allows users to assess total potential solar energy given the shading of a particular site. Identifying the shading pattern early in the process reduces the expense of system and home design and improves the efficiency of the final system or house.Solar panel system design and installationThe Solmetric SunEye is the most important tool for the professional solar installer, saving time and money and helping to design the highest performance systems. It's equally useful for PV, passive hot water, roof mount or ground mount systems. Optimize new systems for maximum production. Analyze existing installations to solve problems of under production. Identify specific shade-causing obstructions such as trees or structures and know instantly how much additional energy would be produced if the obstruction were removed.Passive solar house design and green architectureWhen you need accurate site-specific solar access data for a new building or a renovation, the Solmetric SunEye is the right tool for the job.On-site data collection and analysis: * Fish-eye lens and digital camera * Sophisticated measurement software * Simulates removal or addition of shading objects or structures * Accommodates all panel orientations (tilt and azimuth) * Accounts for panel tilt and orientation * Multi-skyline averagingThat means: * Easy measurements and instant feedback * Fast estimates lead to quick sales and designs * Data is automatically stored for later review"This is one of the easiest, most efficient analysis tools I have ever used."-- Michael Stubbs, Sunny Day Solar
