Solmetric Introduces iSV Sun Viewer iPhone Application

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:00:00 GMT

Solmetric Corporation has released the Solmetric iSV Sun Viewer iPhone application which allows you to make a quick assessment of the timing and impact of shading obstructions. The iSV application uses the iPhone camera to provide an "augmented reality" view of the sun paths at your location. This allows you to make a quick assessment of the timing and impact of shading obstructions. Solmetric iSV can be used for evaluation of solar access for solar energy systems, landscaping, agriculture, photography, event planning, or real estate assessment. In the camera view, the user can see how the obstructions interact with the sun path. Where an obstruction overlaps a sun path, shading will occur.
