Anvartec of Austria developed a handy tool for your mobile phone: SOLight – a digital sun path indicator for your mobile phone.
A great tool for all people visiting a potential site for solar energy installations, and unsure, if any shadowing problems could occur.
SOLight shows you in a simple and quick way the sun paths throughout the whole year.
SOLight calculates the exact sun paths for your current GPS location. The peak (yellow line) and the lowest point (red line) mark the area in which the sun circulates throughout the year.
The ‘Live-View’ automatically shows you the corresponding part of the sun paths depending in which direction you point your device. The sun arrow guides you to the current sun position
Unfortunately at the moment only for iPhone. An Android version is under development and will be published in the coming months.
Here a video, how it works:
