Compare solar panels

Installing solar panels in itself can be realized in a single afternoon, but to buy solar panels take more time. Suppliers and installers will give you an advice, but are more interested in promoting their own solar panels. Solar panels buying should therefore not be underestimated. However, there is an App available for the iPhone and iPad that can help you with comparing solar panels. This independent solar calculator compares the most sold solar panels:

The App Solar Consult shows whether your roof is suitable for the installation of solar panels and what is the optimal setup.

The orientation meter works like a compass that will display the deviation from the South (or North). You can put the phone on the roof or hold it against the ceiling. In addition, the inclination of the roof will be measured and the efficiency of a solar panel will be displayed relative to the optimal position.

If you are considering installing solar panels, the App can help you in your research whether your roof is suitable for solar panels. The App shows whether there falls enough sunlight on your roof and whether it is worth to install solar panels. You can enter an address or display your current location.

You can enter the details of your roof and the App will calculate for your roof with multiple types of solar panels the maximum output in the tab ‘Characteristics roof’.

Also, the required surface of solar panels on pitched and flat roofs are displayed. The App displays the length of the shadow behind a row of solar panels.
