SolarSnap is a mobile application that enables homeowners to quickly assess whether a proposed location is suitable for plug-in solar panels. The user takes a photograph from the intended installation point and the app uses the phone’s GPS position, compass bearing, and image analysis to evaluate shading, obstructions, and potential energy yield. The app is designed for the growing market of homeowners considering plug-in ‘balcony solar’ panels — a segment that requires no professional installation but where location suitability is critical to performance and return on investment.
