Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lighting Calculations at 60% against My Solar Panel's 43%. Lighting Calculations also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). My Solar Panel's advantage is ratings volume (110 vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lighting Calculations sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and My Solar Panel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lighting Calculations holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Solar Panel has 110 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Lighting Calculations's written reviews are positive against 43% of My Solar Panel's.
Lighting Calculations ships an update every 5 weeks, My Solar Panel every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
