FAQ

How does Solar Source work?
By accurately calculating the suns position and power, Solar Source uses an advanced algorithm to quickly and accurately calculate the direction and tilt of your panels to maximize the panels power output. Just enter your start and end times and Solar Source will use the spirit level to help line-up your panels.

Can I use Solar Source at night before the sun is up?
Definitely. In fact, Solar Source specializes in optimizations where the sun rises and the sun sets. Solar Source is great for setting up panels at night before you go to bed and capturing the sunlight until you wake up. It can even work out if you are better off capturing the morning sun, afternoon sun, or something in between.

How accurate is Solar Source?
Solar Source will calculate the best direction and tilt for your solar panels to one degree. Pretty accurate! Just make sure your device is not near any steel that may interfere with the compass.

Can I use Solar Source for permanent solar panel installations?
Yes. If you plan on never moving your panels, simply select a time frame of one year for the optimization period.

How much extra power can I gain?
Solar Source can improve the performance of any solar panel. For one day applications, our uses have increase their power output by 10%, for multi-day users we have had reports of over 50% increase. That like having a 100W panel upgrade to 150W panel for free simply by using Solar Source.

Does Solar Source use the Internet?
No. Solar Source will work anywhere you can get a GPS signal.

Does the size of the panel matter?
No. Any panel shape is fine.
