Opti Solar: Panel Angle

Opti Solar helps you get the most out of your solar panels — whether you are planning a first installation or adjusting panels already in place.

Rooftop, ground mount, carport, balcony, garden, RV, van, boat, portable panels, off-grid cabin or remote site where grid power can be unreliable — Opti Solar adapts anywhere.

🎯 PRECISION MEASUREMENT

Rest your phone on the panel: tilt angle and true azimuth, instantly. The compass detects magnetic interference. Lock your reading with a single tap.

🌑 SHADOW HUNTER — SHADING ANALYSIS

Measure nearby obstacles (trees, chimneys, buildings) and see when they cast shade on your panels through the year. Useful before buying, to avoid a shaded spot that wipes out your winter output.

☀️ SUN PATH IN AUGMENTED REALITY

Point your phone at the sky and follow the sun across it. Compare today with the summer and winter solstices. Capture a photo with GPS, date and measured angles for your records.

📊 SOLAR SCORE (0–100)

Tilt, orientation, shading, yield — every criterion is scored, with concrete recommendations.

🔬 SCIENCE-BASED CALCULATIONS

Estimates use 6 climate zones calibrated on PVGIS (European Commission), NREL PVWatts (United States) and NASA POWER satellite data. Automatic adaptation to your hemisphere: Paris, Lima, Sydney, Sanaa, Reykjavík.

💰 FINANCIAL SIMULATOR

Annual savings, payback time, self-consumption rate, year-by-year return. Based on your local electricity price.

📅 SEASONAL CALENDAR (adjustable mounts)

Recommended angle at every equinox and solstice. Adjust 2 or 4 times a year and increase output by up to 8% compared with a fixed mount.

📈 PRODUCTION TRACKING

Enter your monthly output and compare it with the estimate. Alerts when production falls short.

🗺️ ROOF MAPPING

Draw the outline of your roof on a satellite map and estimate the usable area for your panels.

📄 PDF REPORTS

Three levels: Simple (1 page), Detailed, or Pro with client data. For your records, maintenance, installer discussions or client files.

📡 OFFLINE MODE

No signal, remote site? Opti Solar falls back on local calculation. No errors, no interruptions.

🔧 BUILT FOR OUTDOOR USE

Manual light/dark switch for readability on the roof, spoken measurement readout, large type, plain wording.

GOOD TO KNOW

Opti Solar does not charge your phone and is not a solar charger: it is a measuring tool that tells you which angle to aim a panel at, from a rooftop to a portable camping panel. It does not sell solar panels, does not connect to inverters, and does not guarantee production. Accuracy depends on your phone's sensors, GPS quality and magnetic interference near the panel.
