The Solmetric SunEye 210 is the professional tool for solar site evaluation and shade analysis.

Using a calibrated fisheye camera with electronic tilt and compass sensors, the SunEye performs digital image processing and analysis to calculate shading safely and precisely.

It includes an electronic compass and inclinometer enabled to measure roof pitch and azimuth.

The Leica DISTO™ D8 is the precision laser measuring tool with digital viewfinder and inclinometer.

It is the state of the art distance and angle measuring tool for the solar energy, construction and surveying industries.

The D8 features Bluetooth connectivity for direct data transfer into simulation software such as PV*SOL & T*SOL.

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.

About the PanoramaMaster

The Suunto PM-5 and Tandem are rugged and durable inclinometers for measuring roof pitch angles safely from either the ground or loft.

They are especially useful for situations where it is impractical or perhaps impossible to gain access to the roof to measure the pitch.

About Suunto Inclinometers

The Suunto MC-2 Global Pro Compass is a top of the range compass with built-in inclinometer, useful for calculating azimuths and plotting sun-path diagrams.

It can also be used to measure the slopes of roofs and the dimensions of shading objects. It requires no batteries and is easy to use.

The Fisco Solatronic EN 17 Inclinometer is a useful instrument for measuring angles and gradients.

Small, sturdy and easy to use, this inclinometer provides highly accurate measurements for precise calculations of system capabilities.

The Solar Site Selector is a small but essential investment for any solar thermal or photovoltaic system.

By tracking the sun’s path throughout the day it helps you to position your solar collectors effectively and minimise shading.
