Crashes and severely limited functionality
Not sure whether the app is actually picking up location from the map, as the data fields for location are blank…
No ability to specify size of solar array, and has a weird way of specifying battery size (not that I actually can, as that requires a premium subscription).
No idea how it calculates costs, savings, or anything else really - no methodology specified, so have no idea how accurate or otherwise the figures are. I can say that they are wildly out when compared to our actual costs and returns on our solar system - but there appears to be no way of specifying your own system within the app.
Really not sure who this is aimed at, or whether it might be of use to someone - as it stands, I can’t see it working for many.
