## What is SolarMeter sun energy planner?

SolarMeter is a solar energy analyzing tool that allows you to calculate, estimate and visualize solar power and energy output of a solar panel at specific location using your iPhone or iPad. 

You can't find a better source of energy then sunlight. It is presented in unlimited amount all over the globe, it's free and it has no destructive impact on the environment. If you've ever thought of using sun energy,  but  had some doubts or questions as "Is my location getting enough sunlight?", "Do I have enough area on my roof to cover my annual energy consumption?",  "What side of my roof is more energy effective?", "How much area do I need to cover my energy needs?", "How would my energy bill change after PV system installation?", now you can answer all these question using SolarMeter app for iOS.

Solar Meter helps you to check solar potential of your roof, how much solar power you are getting at your location throughout the year and help to estimate how much energy a photo-voltaic system is able to produce per month.

SolarMeter has following features:
- Real-time solar power calculation based on current location, panel/device orientation and panel/device tilt**
- Solar Power and Energy calculation for different period of time: day, month, year
- Ideal (calculated) and experimental statistical solar data (offline) available
- Sensor based inputs for orientation and tilt
- Automatic current location search using GPS and Network
- Graph/Plot 2D data presentation
- Solar panel efficiency control
- Bill and Saving estimation based on user input (energy monthly or annual consumption).
- Roof tilt angle measurement
- Roof area calculation based on Planimeter*   app measurement and roof tilt angle.
- Metric and Imperial units 
- area converter in Roof Measurement section when units are changed 

Go green!

### 1/5 — Poor design and broken links.

*2024-07-24*

Some functions not operating; ie the calibration doesn’t work, the link to how to use the app, broken. Other functions require purchase of additional apps.

### 1/5 — App dies not deliver promised funcionalities

*2023-07-13*

There is no access to a handbook. No way to find the functions showed in the apps’ description in the appstore.

### 1/5 — Do NOT GET THIS AP

*2022-12-16*

This ap is an absolute joke! I work in the solar industry and this ap is of absolute NO USE whatsoever !!! I’m just glad I only lost $.99 on this stupid purchase! Do NOT GET this Ap!

**Developer response:** thank you for your feedback. Please contact support@vistechprojects.com with more details why it's no use and your suggestions what exactly would be useful for you, who work in the industry.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-11-20*

This app is so helpful to figure out the process of setting up solar panels. Could be some improvements but worth your money

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — Cannot input data

*2021-06-24*

On the calculator, where you should be able to input data, I cannot input data. 
Using the app to measure tilt, it gives azimuth.
Useless.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2021-06-08*

No issues.

### 5/5 — compass does not work

*2021-04-25*

compass does not work

### 2/5 — Dommage, bug

*2021-01-19*

app qui semble intéressante MAIS gros bug sur IPad Pro les champs des formulaires sont illisibles et on ne peut pas rentrer de valeurs dedans...

### 1/5 — SolarMeter

*2018-04-28*

I’m either missing something, or this app is donkey without ears. Can’t calibrate, no GPS map, poor instruction. Nice theory, but someone should put effort into this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment.
Could you please contact support@vistechprojects.com with more details about issues you have with the app on your device? The app works as described: to calibrate compass you need to shake your device as stated in the app. There is not GPS map (will consider your suggestion), when you click my location button, your geo-coordinates are automatically added when found, you can also lat and lng manually. Same with other inputs - when buttons on the right touched tilt and orientation from device sensors will be used OR you can enter manually any values. Calculate buttons will start calculation for your inputs. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns and will try to help you.
