Solmetric Suneye:
The Solmetric SunEyeTM (patent pending) provides complete solar access and shade analysis in an integrated powerful hand-held tool for the following uses:
- Solar panel system design and installation
- Passive solar house design and green architecture
- Landscape design and landscape architecture
- Home and property inspection
Solar Panel Design and Installation
The Solmetric SunEyeTM is an invaluable tool for the professional solar installer, saving time and money and helping to design the highest performance systems. Home and business owners who care about the performance and payback of their systems hire installers that use the Solmetric SunEyeTM. It’s equally useful for PV, passive hot water, roof mount or ground-mount systems.
The Solmetric SunEyeTM can help:
- Optimize new systems for maximum production.
- Analyze existing installations to solve problems of under production.
- Identify specific shade-causing obstructions and know instantly how much additional energy would be produced if the obstructions were removed.
Passive Solar House Design and Green Architecture
The Solmetric SunEyeTM is the right tool for the job when you need accurate sitespecific solar access data for a new home or renovation. Optimize the orientation of a structure by identifying where and when the sun will shine. The Solmetric SunEyeTM helps you answer many different questions. For example, “Will there be enough sun in the winter for passive heating of the house given the site-specific shading?”, or “How will removing the large oak tree on the south-west corner affect the warming and cooling of the building?” Furthermore, by collecting data inside an existing structure, you can identify the amount of direct sunlight that will enter a window or skylight or identify the perfect location for a new window or skylight. Home and Property Inspection The Solmetric SunEyeTM gives professional home and property inspectors a way to provide their clients with important information about the solar access of a property. This information can be useful for:
- Identifying potential sites for solar panels, gardens, or new windows.
- Determining the amount of passive solar heating or cooling a particular building will experience.
- Determining how much direct sunlight will enter a particular window or skylight.
