PV Installer: Solar Calibrator Compass, Tilt, a PV Calculator, and a Quote Builder make up the pro installer toolkit. The Toolkit for Professional Solar Installers The all-in-one pocket utility for PV installers, engineers, and advanced DIYers is Solar Calibrator. Calibrate panel angles with precision, size battery banks, calculate wire gauges, and generate professional PDF quotes—all without internet access.
Basic Tools: Solar Compass & Tilt: Align the panels with their true north/south coordinates and determine the ideal tilt angle for summer or winter efficiency. employs sophisticated sensor damping for professional, steady readings. Battery and Inverter Sizing: Determine the precise amount of off-grid storage required based on load. enables lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) profiles. Use the Wire Gauge Calculator to avoid voltage drops and fire dangers. uses voltage, current, and run length to determine the safe wire thickness (AWG/mm2). 📋 Load Audit & Quote Builder: Build a complete appliance load profile and generate instant PDF estimates to share with clients.
PV Array and String Sizing: To safeguard your inverter, determine the maximum number of panels per string based on local temperature lows (Voc limits). 🌲 Obstruction Analysis: Calculate shadow cast distance to ensure your array stays shade-free during winter solstice.
ADDED IN V2.0: Field Mode UI: Dark Mode with high contrast for visibility in direct sunlight. PDF Reports: Export client quotes and detailed calculation reports. For accurate estimations of sun hours, Smart Location automatically detects latitude.
