User reviews

Easy app to use

Bought a couple of panels and micro inverter kit from Amazon and used the app to position them, was as easy as 1, 2, 3. Great app would recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to review the app and I am really glad it was useful

Really useful

Used it to set up solar panel when we were camping today, not what it is intended for but came in handy all the same.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, glad the app came in useful, we are looking into a way that the app could be best used for temporary setups by both campers and campervan users in the future.
