I use this app when on the go with my solar charger. Charging is more efficient than guessing leading to faster charge times. Perfect for those shorter days. A+
I made a 20 watt solar power supply for my emergency/portable HAM Radio equipment. This app is easy to use and is perfect for what I needed, the ability to align my two 10 watt panels for maximum performance when I am portable in a park or away from home.
I was looking for an App that gave me the correct panel orientation calculation for my area, this App does just that and a lot more! And should you have any questions they have great customer service too. This is a must buy App.
This product works great.
