For only $97.50, the Building Analyst Field Training Video can save you hundreds of dollars on training and testing fees. Retaking a BPI field exam costs $200 to $400, and in person field trainings cost even more.

Product Description

The Solar Pathfinder has been the standard in the solar industry for solar site shade analysis for decades. Its panoramic reflection of the site instantly provides a full year of accurate solar/shade data. The Solar Pathfinder gives an entire years solar potential for a given site in just seconds.

This unit includes:

• Printed Manual (online version also available)


• Sunpath Diagrams (latitude & application specific)


• Angle estimator (for determining altitude & azimuth)


• White marking pen with extra leads


• Tool box specifically designed for the Pathfinder


• Tripod specifically designed for the Pathfinder

Product Description

Any scientific analysis requires accurate input and careful calculations. The Solar Pathfinder and Assistant provide mathematical precision for accurate shading assessment (solar site analysis) by eliminating gross errors in structure orientation, solar system sizing, and PV/collector placement. The Solar Pathfinder Assistant software dovetails local weather data (using NREL/WMO) and site-specific shade analysis in a customizable report. Originally furnished for the ecological and photovoltaic applications, the Assistant software now services the growing thermal technologies.

Enhancing Site Evaluation

The SunEye 210 is an integrated Shade Analysis Tool for solar site assessment. It includes a fisheye lens on a digital camera and a dedicated on-board processor to perform digital image processing and analysis to compute shading and solar access percentages. It includes an electronic compass and level, and an inclinometer function for measuring roof pitch and azimuth.

Solmetric PV Designer Software

PV Designer software enables you to lay out solar PV modules on a roof surface and calculate the energy production for your system. Results are corrected for the impacts of partial shading, using your Skylines from the Solmetric SunEye™. The software is designed for residential and smaller commercial systems of 15 kW or less.
