SunArc shows the sun’s path and position on a map for your location, date and time. See where shadows will fall, from buildings, trees or custom objects placed manually. Check how shadows change throughout the day and across different seasons. Will your solar panels still get enough sun in winter? Will that tree block the afternoon sun from your kitchen window? Or when will your terrace finally be in the shade? Useful for photographers, hikers, home buyers, balcony owners, campers, gardeners, beach lovers, future solar power heroes and vitamin D hunters. One purpose. No account. No ads. No subscription.
