SunEye pdf reports
|
We've just posted version 4.61 software on our website, adding an option to export reports in pdf format. Compared to the existing html report, the pdf report will simplify emailing and sharing without the need for attachments. The html report will still be the best choice for accessing all individual image and data files. You can view a sample shade report in either format by clicking pdf shade report or html shade report. To download the software, please click here, and look for "Download Current Software" |
| SunEye Autocorrection Explained |
|
As most users have noticed, the latest versions of SunEye device software have the Autocorrection feature. This makes skylines easier and faster to snap, and takes the pressure off getting the device EXACTLY south and level. Here is more detail to help you take advantage of this enhancement.
Shown below is the preview screen which comes up when you select "Skyline, New" with version 4.55 or higher of the software. The compass and level displays include windows or ranges over which the Autocorrection will operatel: up to +/-30° in the heading and up to +/-5° in the tilt. The compass or level will appear yellow if the SunEye is aligned within that window, and gray or black if not. After you snap the Skyline, the SunEye will automatically correct the skyline for offsets within the window. For best results, hold true South (or North in the Southern Hemisphere) and level as accurately as possible, but as long as you are within the window and the indicators are yellow, the measurements will be accurately and automatically corrected by the SunEye. If you are not aligned within the Autocorrection window, the SunEye will alert you and force another measurement.
Note: The Autocorrection feature relates to the direction and tilt of the SunEye device itself while snapping Skylines. It should not be confused with the Panel Tilt and Azimuth, for example the roof orientation. You enter in the Panel Tilt and Azimuth to determine the field of view of the solar panels for solar access calculations. This is independent of the device heading and tilt during snaps.
