A PV design and shading-analysis tool that turns roof layouts into hourly yield models, production probabilities, and client-ready reports.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The workflow begins with a searched or manually placed site pin, then carries coordinates, imagery, design defaults, roof geometry, obstructions, and racking choices through the project. Its simulation description emphasizes circuit-level behavior: the inverter sets a draw voltage and each module responds on its own I-V curve for every hourly step. Reports preserve 15 named stages, including reflection, soiling, mismatch, inverter output, and energy to grid, alongside references to PVGIS, pvlib, and South African standards.
