User reviews

No instructions and no rotation

Once you’ve worked out how to use it, it works pretty well. But it took me quite a while to work if out and to make sure the phone’s calibration was set properly. There could be more guidance and it could be more obvious where to find it, as the guide feature doesn’t show on the opening page.

Seulement de la pub

Impossible de l’utiliser, des popup de publicité ne se ferment pas. J’ai essayé d’attendre, de relancer. Je n’avais jamais vu cela avant. On clique en bas, direction un sponsor. À droite direction un sponsor, et seulement après plusieurs redémarrage pour se débarrasser du bandeau qui prend tout l’écran. Avec la rédaction de cet avis, c’est mon oscar annuel, même à vie, de perte de temps!

Great must have app

I wish I got this months ago. It’s excellent. I’ve spent weeks writing a similar program (though it does all my panels and takes shading in account) but I have to commend the accuracy and simplicity of this app. Worth paying the trivial 99p to go ad free. Well done.

Doesn’t work anymore Useless

Can’t use angle solar panel option anymore.
Error- iPhone gyroscope off.
My gyroscope works with other apps
My iPhone is updated & app is updated.
I tried deleting app & reinstall, still not working.
Any help to resolve would be appreciated

Great for RV and Overland portable solar panel setup

This is the best app I have used for finding optimal setup angles for our portable solar suitcases. The location and irradiance info help in estimating power generation so we can better budget usage. The position optimizer feature takes out most of the guesswork out of setup. A selection for a shorter time period like a day or week would make this app perfect for portable panel setup.

FAQ

What does the PV Optimizer & Solar compass app do?

This app is designed to help you maximize the energy output of your solar panels. It provides guidance on adjusting your panels' azimuth and tilt angles based on real-time solar data. It also includes a solar compass and offers forecasts for your potential monthly energy generation.

How do I use the solar panel optimizer feature?

To use the optimizer, select one of the four available time frames (momentary, 3 months, 6 months, or yearly). Then, place your device above your solar panels and adjust their azimuth and tilt according to the values provided by the app. The app's algorithm will then help you get the most from your panels.

Is the PV Optimizer & Solar compass app free to use?

Yes, all the functionalities of this app are completely free. While the app has in-app purchases, the core features for optimizing solar panel output and using the solar compass are available without any cost.

What kind of data does the solar compass provide?

The solar compass provides real-time data related to the sun's position and solar radiation. This information can be useful for optimizing your solar panels or for other outdoor activities where knowing the sun's location is important.

Can I get a forecast for my solar panel energy generation?

Yes, version 2.0 of the app includes a forecast feature for your solar panels' output. You can input your panel capacity, tilt, and azimuth angles to receive a theoretical forecast of the monthly energy you might generate.
