App summary

If you do not have a PV System yet, this is the easiest and cheapest way to Go Solar: https://www.energysage.com/p/mspe

If you are planning to invest in a Photovoltaic solar installation for your home, yard construction or any other commercial and non-commercial use, you have the right tool to advise you on the feasibility of your desired solar power system. You will be able to get the best performance results for any desired location and configuration. This app will help you in the process of decision making for installation of a PV System.
With My Solar Panel you will gain enormous flexibility for designing your photovoltaic panels, solar power inverter and all other PV equipment. You can make your configuration according to your needs and set your PV system on any desired location on the map.


* All in one app
My Solar Panel is your assistant which offers you a various palette of parameters for any desired location on the map. It provides:
- Monthly irradiance
- Optimal tilt angle
- Monthly and daily optimal tilt angles
- Optimal orientation
- Annual electricity generation
- Monthly electricity generation
- Total area of all panels
- Number of panels needed for your desired system – available two options
- Total land area for your desired system
- Payback period in years for your desired system
- Capacity factor of your system
- Energy degradation in 25-years period
- Avoided CO2 emissions
- Levelized cost of electricity
- Energy yield
- Optimization module with comparison option
- Shading module for calculation of self-shading losses from solar array.
- Real time Solar PV Simulator for electricity generation…and much more.


* Easy to use
- Simple and user-friendly interface.
- Three steps approach: choose a location, design your system, see the results.


* Designing your solar power system
For better flexibility and appropriateness of the users, depending on their background, the model requires several input parameters, which are divided in two categories – Basic and Advanced data.
- Installed power of your PV System
- Tilt angle of the panels
- Orientation of the panels
- Average electricity price of your bill or average electricity sell price (market, PPA, etc.)
- Photovoltaic panels (photovoltaic modules) efficiency
- Solar power inverter efficiency
- solar power system cost in USD per installed kW, including solar panel cost, solar power inverter cost and all other solar installation cost
- Degradation rate of the pv modules

* Optimize your results
- Find out the optimal tilt angle and orientation
- Find out monthly tilt angles
- Minimize your shading losses
- Compare you results


* Solar PV Simulator
The PV Simulator is live simulation of the pv panels using your phone. You can face any desired side and angle with your phone and check the live performance of your chosen position. With changing the direction, you can find the difference of the energy yield.


* Explore the other possibilities
- Check the shading losses of your system
- Check the sunrise and sunset for any time of the year
- Check the sun position for any time of the year
- And much more…


* Get more than an app
- Our goal is not only to help you find the best output for your PV System, but also to help you explore the possibility of the solar power as an unlimited source of energy and to encourage you in making a very minor impact on the climate change.
- Whenever you need help for designing your PV System or interpretation of the data, open the user manual from the app (help option) or just contact us.



** This is a FREE version of the app. If you want to gain full access to all features, you have to update it to PRO version.

Thanks for maker. Really good application

I have been using the free version for almost 2 years now. I used it to estimate what an installation on our house would produce and it came within 5% of what we have averaged over the last 2 years. The lifetime cost of electricity estimate seems to be accurate for the price we paid for solar panels. We have saved a little bit more money than an estimated but that's because Our co-op still hits us with extra fees for cost incurred during the 2021 big freeze. Must pay off energy speculators.

Not a complete app. I purchased the Pro and was disappointed, got a refund. App has potential if they would put more into it. Example: ON the shading you can't input the panel dimensions only approx. When running the shading it won't allow landscape position. I never saw the 3D shading simulation plus your not told if it's a 9 to 3 time range and not knowing make for non usable data for real world panel spacing. Also the azimuth and compassion readings were way off using the panel tilt tool.
