FAQ

Questions buyers ask

How accurate is the sun model?

It uses sun position and your marked obstacles. For solar investment decisions, confirm with an on-site assessment.

Do I need special equipment?

No. An address and a few photos or sketches of trees and structures are enough.

Does it work for balconies?

Yes. Balconies and small patios work the same way.
