Solar Analysis Tool Available As iPhone Application

Solar installers and consumers looking for a simple-to-use, yet powerful, portable solar site analysis tool can now download the SMA Solarchecker iPhone application from the Apple App Store.  The free iPhone application provides users with a quick way of finding out how much energy – and revenue – a solar power sysytem could produce at virtually any given location.
The Solarchecker utilizes the iPhone’s GPS locator to determine the user’s location. Its magnetic compass provides site orientation and the inclination sensor determines the roof pitch. Users who lack the compass feature can also enter the orientation manually.



Using the site location, the Solarchecker automatically accesses a weather database to determine the solar radiation available at that spot. Then, based on the site parameters and irradiance levels, the application applies a mathematical model to provide specific energy yield and annual energy harvest estimates.
By entering a project’s available roof space or anticipated system size, the Solarchecker can also provide users with potential energy yields and CO2 savings over the life of the system.
For those who want even more information, the Solarchecker can estimate a project’s return on investment (ROI) by entering the revenue generated per kWh as well as the system’s financing and maintenance costs. The application uses that information to calculate net profit, savings or anticipated returns.
After entering and analyzing the data, users can also find qualified, local solar energy specialists to install the proposed system. Once again using the iPhone’s GPS locator, the application will automatically provide contact information for the ten closest SMA Sunny PRO Club members—qualified professionals who can assist with installation.
The Solarchecker application works worldwide and is available in five languages: English, Spanish, French, German and Italian
