Ratings and reviews

This app takes you from your GPS location all the way through the financial aspects and payback period. Very complete solution for an App that doesn't have any ads. All I had to do separately was calculate the expected power usage and look up the efficiency ratings of the system components then enter them here. Some of the menu translations give unusual wording but it's not difficult to figure out what they mean.

Just started using to and though the free version is limited, it works very and is accurate and intuitive to use. I was making calculations based on my existence system (been tracking over 3 years) and it is very accurate with my number very close to estimations in app. I got this to upgraded my setup and there is very insightful info generated by this app.

Just installed. Very impressive on arrays and orientation. It would be good to have the capability of charging the battery at off peak hours, with an off-peak and day high rate. That would lead to estimates of smart usage of the grid in winter months, especially. Good to put in a battery but needs improvement. Also I would prefer to put in my kw demand to allow for heat pump use between times of the day. That all said 6 stars, but I would need to explore others, but this app has impressed me.
