What are they?
The PanoramaMaster tripod bracket and software digitises landscapes for accurate shading analyses. Used with your own camera and tripod, the adaptor bracket allows you to take aligned panoramic images.
Using the software you can then stitch these images together and digitise your landscape with ease. Sunpath lines and a horizon will be automatically overlaid, and the resulting skyline can be exported to simulation software such as PV*SOL & T*SOL.
What are they for?
Shading can have a major impact on solar thermal or PV performance and efficiency of solar systems. It is therefore vital to integrate a shading calculation into simulations for accurate estimates of energy yields. These tools will allow you to quickly record and analyse your shading risks.
What do they do?
Produce aligned panoramic views with the bracket, a compass, and your own digital camera.
Stitch the overlapping images together with the software and create a 360° panoramic view with a few mouse clicks. For each 360° view, the shading outline is automatically calculated and sunpaths are overlaid.
Import the skyline into PV*SOL, T*SOL and MeteoNorm for accurate shading calculations.
