- Worth noticing
- The page specifies 8,760 simulated hours, a 145-patch sky dome, and weather sources including PVGIS and NASA POWER.
Field notes
The proposed workflow moves from an address or coordinates to a modeled roof scene, then updates production, shade loss, and economics as the design changes. The methodology names NOAA solar-position equations, a Sandia module-temperature model, and PVGIS or NASA POWER weather data; the site says the source and assumptions will also appear in reports. The page marks the app as coming soon, so these are described capabilities rather than verified working features.
