With hashcloud – your new cloud storage - you can easily share files using #hashtags. Simply come up with a new #hashtag and share it with friends or colleagues. Anyone who knows this #hashtag can then upload files to it and download files from other users. This makes hashcloud perfect for exchanging files at university, at work, among friends, or within the family. Hashcloud is a cloud storage service designed specifically for easy file sharing. You no longer need to ask for contact information from people you want to collaborate with. Nor do you need to create complicated and confusing links to send to these individuals. With hashcloud, you simply come up with a suitable #hashtag that best describes your group work or file directory. The involved parties can easily remember this #hashtag and enter it into their app. The cloud storage is completely hosted in Germany. All files are stored on German servers and are thus subject to GDPR. So, you don't have to worry about your files falling into the wrong hands. Also, a #hashtag acts like a password. The more difficult and unique your #hashtag is, the less likely someone will access your files. Conversely, you can also create open #hashtags, for example, if you want to share files with as many users as possible. However, if you want to be completely secure, simply add a password to your #hashtag. You must be an admin or the creator of the #hashtag to do this. Other users can only join the #hashtag if they also know your chosen password. So, your files are always protected in hashcloud storage. Here's a list of all features: + File sharing via #hashtags – Avoid cumbersome links and share your files using easy-to-remember #hashtags + Access to all files (free and without registration/login) at www.hash.cloud + All files and user data are stored on German servers and are subject to GDPR + Password protection for extremely sensitive files + Available as an iOS and web app (www.hash.cloud) + Upload up to 10 files simultaneously Accessing files is completely free. Only for uploading new files, you need to purchase a quota. You can test the platform with up to 1GB of storage for uploading files. If you need more storage, please consider upgrading to hashcloud+ with 1,000GB of storage. For more information, visit www.hash.cloud. For questions and suggestions, we are available at help@hash.cloud at any time.

Read full description

Measure shade on site with the hardware already in your pocket. Erebus Solar was designed by an electrical engineer and an architect with years of experience designing solar systems around the world. We were fed up with the horizon-finding hardware the industry still relies on: dedicated devices that haven't been meaningfully updated in decades, are slow to use and slow to find a GPS fix, and analog tools that need paper, a pencil and a latitude template that may not exist for your site. Erebus Solar is our answer. Your iPhone already has the camera, compass and sensors the job needs. WHY HORIZON FILES MATTER Far-field shading from trees, terrain and neighbouring buildings is one of the largest sources of error in a PV production estimate. A measured horizon profile, captured on site, lets your design software model that shading instead of guessing. Erebus Solar produces horizon files that leading PV design tools such as HelioScope and PVsyst read directly, and PV*SOL accepts the same convention. CAPTURE • AR sun path: today's arc, the solstice and equinox arcs and the live sun drawn over the real sky • Tap the real sun to calibrate the compass to true north • Automatic sky capture: sweep the envelope band and frames capture themselves, no buttons • Sky Editor: review the stitched sky and trace obstructions by hand, so the report reflects what you saw ANALYSE • Annual solar access and TSRF for each array area • Month-by-month charts and the sun-path chart with your obstructions • Aerial view with each area's boundary and the solar envelope over satellite imagery EXPORT • PDF shade report with your company name and logo • Horizon files for HelioScope, PVsyst and PV*SOL, generated from the same capture • Share straight from the phone ORGANISE • One project per site, located by address or GPS, with status from Created to Completed • Areas for each roof face or ground section • Everything stored on your iPhone: no account, no upload Erebus Solar's outputs are a design aid for qualified professionals. Results depend on the phone's sensors, compass calibration and sky conditions; check them against your own observations and your design tool's simulation before relying on them.
